Description: | A complete cast copper alloy mount or stud of the Roman period. It is octofoil in shape, made up of eight petal shapes, each being a moulded champleve field filled with coloured enamel, red in the slightly longer petals, which project a little beyond the other four, which are in turn filled with white enamel. There is a small central circular champleve panel with red enamel. The head of the mount is 21.10x20.80mm and 2.84mm thick. The whole stud is 12.69mm in length. It weighs 6.58g. There has been some loss of surface within the enamelled cells.There is a shank at the centre of the reverse. Immediately below the head there is a narrow groove, the shank then widens before tapering to a small collar just above a blunt pointed end. The end shows signs of wear and may be broken. The shank is 9.85mm in length, and narrows from a diameter of 5.90mm to 4.40mm at the collar before tapering to the blunt point.
