Description: | The object is a stud probably dating to the Post Medieval period. The head is circular, slightly domed and decorated with a rose within a beaded border. The reverse is flat with the exception of an integral square-sectioned shank protruding from the centre. The shank tapers towards a blunt point and is obliquely angled in plan. There are traces of a mid grey patina. It measures 15.25mm long, and 12.27mm diameter. It weighs 2.09g.It may be a furniture stud in view of the square sectioned shank. Margeson (Margeson, S. 1993 Norwich Households; Medieval and Post Medieval Finds from Norwich Survey Excavations 1971-78. East Anglian Archaeology Report No. 58) illustrates undecorated studs (Nos. 525-532) dating to the 16th and 17th century.
