Description: | A possible furniture fitting, a cast copper alloy stud or mount. The stud head is circular in plan and slightly domed. The reverse is hollow with the exception of an integral square-sectioned shank protruding from the centre. The shank appears to be incomplete. The stud is heavily abraded but has a trace of a white metal alloy coating. It measures 6.18mm long, and 11.15mm diameter. It weighs 0.7g.
It may be a furniture stud in view of the square sectioned shank. Margeson (Margeson, S. 1993 Norwich Households; Medieval and Post Medieval Finds from Norwich Survey Excavations 1971-78. East Anglian Archaeology Report No. 58) illustrates undecorated studs (Nos. 525-532) dating to the 16th and 17th century. | Subjects: | Stud / Mount | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
