Description: | A Roman cast copper-alloy enamelled seal-box lid dating to the 2nd to 3rd century. The circular lid is decorated with three concentric circular rings, one at the outer edge, one forming a central cell for enamel and the third is a smaller example in centre of this cell. The outer two rings form a band in which are set eight smaller circular cells some of which still contain red enamel, the band in which they are set also has previously held red enamel. The inner circular cell has green/yellow enamel surviving. There are two lugs with circular perforation projecting from the edge, one of which is now damaged these were likely to be how the lid was attached to the box.This lid is of a Crummy type 2 and an exact parallel can be found in Crummy No.2521 fig.106 (1983: 103)
