Description: | Roman copper alloy seal box lid, 33mm long, 24mm wide and 6mm thick. The object is in fair condition and weighs 8.49grams. The object is rectangular in form and has incomplete raised sides, c.7mm deep. It has a semi-circular lug transversely placed in the centre of one outer edge. The surface of the box is decorated with an abstract pattern formed of a loose diagonally placed S shape which has sub triangular cells at each end. These are joined to a further triangle by a circle and spiral line motif emerging from one corner. This triangle is formed of a raised surface with a sub triangular cell placed towards the outer edge. The whole pattern is arranged so that there is a triangular motif filling each corner. The circles and triangular cells have traces of red enamel in them whilst the outer field has traces of blue, all contained within a raised border.
