Description: | Copper alloy and enamelStud. Cast discoid plate with a shank of 2.2mm diameter and length circa 2.5mm which terminates with a flat rove of diameter 4.5mm - part of the rove is lost. The display face presents a central circular compartment retaining possible traces of colorant (now greenish), with an outer zone in which six white enamel spots with black centres are set against a bordered field of red enamel.The use of a polychrome scheme tends to place this object in the Roman rather than the Celtic period, though such studs are sometimes associated with the decoration of sword scabbards or other war gear whose wide currency in general pre-dates the Conquest. Suggested date: Early Roman, 40-200.Diameter: 13.6mm, Thickness (plate): 1.8mm, Weight: 1.15gms.
