Description: | An incomplete enameled copper-alloy lid from a Roman seal box. The lid is 45.05mm in length, 19.50mm wide, 8.0mm thick and weighs 5.39 grams.The seal box lid is an elongated leaf-shaped (Crummy type 4). Only the lid survives. There is a worn circular pierced loop at the hinged end, and the opposing end has a small rounded knob. The upper surface has champleve enamel decoration. The design is comprised of a raised outline of a leaf (heart-shape) enclosing a central sprue. The edge of the lid is raised around the border on both the upper and lower surface, providing a recess. Red and translucent enamel survives in the recesses. The enamel has degraded over time.The lid is similar to Crummy 1983, fig: 2523, p103 and an example found in Yorkshire: YORYM-E14B17
