Description: | A Roman copper-alloy mount with enamelled decoration.The mount is circular, with a right-angled rim and hollow underside, from the centre of which projects an integral rivet. The upper surface is decorated by five of an original six enamel insets, which alternate between light blue and a lighter colour, possibly yellow. These insets form a ring around a raised central pellet with flat surface.Diameter: 8.5mm; depth (including rivet): 5.2mm. Weight: 0.5g.Other enamelled mounts on the PAS database include BERK-9E8A64, BERK-D66574 and BH-A2CCB7. A date of late 1st to mid-3rd century AD is suggested, based on the similarity of these pieces to enamelled plate brooches of the period (see, for example, Hattatt 2000: Fig. 210).
