Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy stud most likely to be Roman in date. This stud has a central circular disc, with worn damaged edges measuring 25mm in diameter. Projecting from the centre of one face of this disc is a cylindrical shaped shaft with a flat circular disc at its terminal, 11mm in diameter. Projecting from the centre of the other face of the central ciruclar disc is a much shorter shaft with a rounded knob terminal, 13mm in diameter, this knob is worn and damaged in its centre implying that there may have been a further projection. With both projecting knobs this stud measures 22mm in length. This stud could have functioned as a Roman furniture fitting, acting a draw knob perhaps. Or may have a decorative function on a box or other larger object.
