STUD

Unique ID: DUR-B80192

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Cast copper alloy stud which is decorated with enamel, Roman in date. It is circular in plan and 3.23mm thick. It has recesses on the front face for the enamel. The design is a central four petalled flower with a border on the edge of the stud. The flower has white petals. The field around the flower is empty although it could have held enamel. The border appears to have been made of alternating squares of enamel all the way around, most of the red still remains, the other colour could be blue although very little is visible. The reverse of the stud is plain, there is a sub-square hollow in the centre where the shaft of the stud would have been fixed but this is now missing.
