Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy chatelaine dating to the first or second centuries AD. Length 31mm, width 31.5mm, thickness 6.5mm, weight 9.91g. The fragment comprises a rectangular plate. The plate is decorated on both sides with a line of five large stamped ring and dot motifs. Each motif contains blue enamel in the central dot and a lighter enamel in the surrounding ring. Above and below are two parallel, horizontal bands of decoration in the form of vertical striations. An oval knop extends from the top of the chatelaine. Only a small portion of a suspension loop is visible. The knop possesses three circumferential ribs. At tchatelaine plate, there extend to rearward facing loops. These would originally have secured the axis bar from which toilet articles would have been suspended.
