Description
English: Treasure case 2008 T619: Roman earring

A distorted gold rod, of diamond-shaped cross-section, evenly tapered towards both ends. Probably the originally S-shaped hoop of a Roman ear-ring. One end terminates in a simple, rather short, hook with blunt tip, probably for attachment to the ear; the fine tip of the other end was deliberately turned back on itself, probably to secure a (now missing) bead of glass or semi-precious stone. Date: 1st - 4th century AD. Dimensions: Length 39.5 mm. Maximum thickness 4.4 x 3.5 mm. Weight: 4 g. In age and precious metal content the object qualifies as Treasure under the terms of the 1996 Treasure Act. Ralph Jackson Dept. of Prehistory & Europe British Museum 15th April 2009
