Description: | Copper alloy terminal, probably dating to the Roman period and possibly functioning as a furniture fitting. The terminal is roughly cone shaped and solid. The base is uneven and has the remains of an iron fitting or rivet where the terminal has been attached to something. The object is decorated around the base with four single petal shapes, reminiscent of acanthus moulding. Above this there are two thin bands of twisted rope like decoration before the object terminates in a protruding rounded knop. The terminal weighs 24.31g and measures 27.13mm in length, 17.67mm in diameter. A similar terminal with the remains of a shank intact can be seen in the report: 'Finds from Roman Aldborough' by M C Bishop and is cited as a furniture fitting. Fig.41, No.462. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
