Description: | Circular cast copper-alloy object, probably a decorative mount from furniture. 29 mm in diameter, it has a dished centre and a turned-down edge. In the middle of the dished centre is a tall circular boss which tapers to a flat top 5 mm in diameter. The top has a slight dimple. The roughly cast reverse has a large central raised collar with a square hole in the centre. The hole has some iron staining and probably held an iron attachment shank. Knobs like these are found on many Roman objects, perhaps most commonly on furniture, and usually have an iron attachment shank.
