Description: | This large stud is like a nail, with a domed white-metal head of 27mm diameter, metal thickness 1mm but domed thickness 6mm, and so hollowed underneath, with a square-sectioned tapering pin issuing from the centre of the underside, broken off at a length of 12mm. The function of this stud is uncertain, though it seems likely to be associated with the nailing of textile or leather to a wooden base, and therefore probably connected with saddlery. It is of closely similar kind to two other studs also found in Nettlestead,see SF-C964E3, also of white metal, and whatever they are this is also.
