Description: | A copper-alloy mount of Roman date. A bell-shaped stud, which is probably a furniture fitting dating from the 1st to 3rd century AD. It consists of a circular plate measuring 19.9mm in diameter, with a countersunk face and a central boss with a terminal knob. The reverse has a central depression, containing traces of a white fixative. There are two protrusions of rectangular section. These lie opposite each other at the outer edges of the plate and would have been hammered into a casket or piece of furniture. The surface of the object is black, which may represent a corroded silvering or tinning. It measures 15.4mm high and weighs 4.59g.
