Title
Ear-ring
Description
English: A Treasure find, Roman gold ear-ring of rectangular form, distorted and lacking its hook. It comprises two plates joined at the margins. The front face is embossed with a decorative swag border with tiny circular indentations. There is likely to have been a central setting in this face but this is no longer clear due to the central torn hole through both plates marking the former point of attachment of the hook. 

 
The ear-ring is most likely to be of Allason-Jones Type 11 (Lindsay Allason-Jones Ear-rings in Roman Britain, Oxford 1989, p8).  A similar example from near Sudbury was recorded as Treasure number 2003 T256, by Ralph Jackson.  It is likely to be 2nd or 3rd century AD.
