Description: | Romano-British unidentified object: decorative circular stud. Within a peripheral rim a high central nipple is topped, not by a concavity as is normal on bell-shaped studs, but a small projection. From the flat underside projects a flat, rectangular section, integral shank, which is probably pierced transversely. On the underside all but the end of the shank is covered in decayed iron. Diameter 21mm. Height 12mm. The presence of so much iron, and of the probably pierced integral shank (as opposed to an inserted iron shank) shows this functioned differently to bell-shaped studs that are usually interpreted as furniture fittings. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bales, Ellen - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
