Description: | The head and part of the shaft of a copper-alloy stud dating from the Roman period. It is similar to 'bell shaped' studs; circular in plan and with a concave profile. The shaft of the stud is square in section and ends in an old break. In the centre of the base of the ??bell?? is a iron projection with a pyramidal head, though this shape is probably the result of corrosion. The stud has a dark grey glossy patina. It is 49mm long and 17.6mm in diameter. It weighs 16.36gm. Bell-shaped studs were perhaps used as furniture fittings (see for example: SWYOR-185B51, ESS-99D7A5, Allason-Jones and Miket, 1984: nos. 889-913). A similar but smaller example is SF-6DEB81. | Subjects: | bell shaped stud | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
