Title |
Seal box of Roman date |
||
Description |
English: A complete copper-alloy seal box of Roman date. It is circular in form with base and lid of identical size and shape. The base has five small circular perforations arranged in a regular cross shaped motif, and at each side has central U-shaped notches. At one end the base has an integral double lug with separately cast copper-alloy bar that enables the base and lid to hinge. Projecting hemispherical knops on both base and lid at the opposite end of the object to the hinge allows the two halves to connect, a small projecting lug in the interior of the knops preventing any sideways movement. The front face of the lid has the remains of enamelled decoration comprising a central ring and dot motif containing a band of blue enamel. This is surrounded by a larger recessed field containing six evenly spaced pellets, the enamel in between now missing due to post-depositional damage. Each of the pellets, the central ring and dot motif and the raised border at the edge of the front face have traces of an added white metal coating. The entire object measures 25.22mm in length, 16.31mm in width/diameter, 8.15mm in thickness and 6.57g in weight.
This is a complete Roman seal box similar to another example recorded from Suffolk (SF-22D984). It finds parallels in Crummy's Type 2 seal boxes with round lids and enamelled decoration (Crummy, 1983: p. 103) and is of probable 2nd to 3rd century AD date. |
