Description: | Copper alloy and dark red enamel. Seal Box Lid. Cast lozenge shaped plate with a single drawn wire lug at one end, and flattened and possibly grooved at the opposite end. A stub of wire projects next to the lug, possibly suggesting repair or the relicts of a wire or sprung fastening. A central sunken cell retains crazed dark red enamel, and, below thick corrosion, it is possible this central dot was surrounded by curvilinear cells also apt to retain colorant. Corrosion products are especially dense around the putative fastening gear. Suggested date: Early Roman, 100-200.Length: 25.4mm, Width: 17.2mm, Thickness (clear of dense corrosion): 2.4mm, Weight: 3.70gms.
