Description: | Copper alloy stud. Cast concavo-convex cup-shaped object with a short stalk, resembling a truncated golf tee when viewed in profile. The shallow cup is filled with a thick layer of red enamel. Abraded. Such items would decorate larger items such as the mouths of sword scabbards or chariot or horse fittings; the use of a monochrome red enamel would admit a pre-Roman date. Suggested date: Late Iron Age, 100 BC-AD 100.Height: 10.5mm, Diameter: 10.6mm, Thickness (edge of cup): 2mm, Weight: 2.31gms
