Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy unidentified artefact with enamelled decoration and probable lead soldering, probably dating to the Roman period, between AD 43-410 (length: 31mm; width: 14mm; thickness: 3.5mm; weight: 8.5g). The artefact, which is sub-rectangular in plan and fairly flat in section, appears to be broken at either end of its length. The front of the artefact is decorated with four diamond-shaped recessed areas (two of these are incomplete at either end), three of which contain alternating coloured enamel in the following order: no enamel present in recess, dark blue, light blue/ turquoise and dark blue. There is no other decoration on the front of the object. On the back of the artefact, the shiny silver uneven surface appears to represent lead soldering. Overall, the artefact is in a slightly worn and fair condition. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 43
