Description: | A copper-alloy terminal knob which is most likely to be Roman in date and could have functioned as a furniture handle or box fitting of some kind, for which no exact parallel could be found. The knob has a flat circular base, 21.9mm in diameter, which has two circumferencial mouldings around its base, it then swells slightly before tapering into a cylindrical projection with a flat end. This has circumferencial mouldings around its end and is 8.8mm in diameter. The knob measures 33.2mm in total length. It is solid copper-alloy but in the centre of the wider circular end there is the remains of a rectangular iron shaft which seems to have been fitted inside the knob.
