Description: | Copper alloy stud. Cast object with a hemispherical concavo-convex cup at the end of a short (6.3mm) tapered round section spike. The cup retains a thick layer of red enamel, sunken in the middle. This object has a striking resemblance to a golf tee, and only the enamel suggests a probable date: monochrome red enamel being characteristic of a possibly pre-Roman date, though it continued in use into the early Roman period. This object might have decorated harness or a scabbard, and is one of two reported together. Suggested date: Late Iron Age, 100 BC-AD 43Diameter: 12mm, Length: 11.8mm, Weight: 2.47gms
