Description: | Upholstery tack with tapering square-section shaft and circular hollow-domed head. The head is fairly flat on the top, perhaps as a result of hammering. Length 14 mm, maximum diameter of head 13 mm. Upholstery tacks were used in the Roman and post-medieval periods and the two can be impossible to tell apart. This example is very corroded and came from an area with many Roman finds, so may be Roman. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
