Description: | A copper alloy enamelled stud which is probably Roman in date, and likely to be a lock pin. The head is sub circular in plan. The front is decorated with a central circular cell continaing yellow enamel, and a crescent shaped cell containing traces of red enamel. The other side of the central cell is plain metal, slightly domed. On the reverse is a projecting tab which has broken across a circular hole. The tab is not central. Compare to YORYM-907CD1 and ESS-1A0D44. Though an exact parallel could not be found, Crummy, 1983, (The Roman small finds from excavations in Colchester 1971-9), illustrates a similar disc headed example in figure 137, number 4142. The rich dark brown patina suggests a Roman date.
