Description: | A cast copper alloy stud. The stud head is a pointed oval in plan and is slightly domed in profile with a hollow reverse. The head has a slightly bevelled edge, but the edges are also abraded. The reverse of the head has a trace of an integral square sectioned shank protruding from the centre. The shank is fragmentary. The surface of the stud has patches of a shiny mid grey patina on the exterior, and the interior has a matte mid grey coloured surface. It measures 25.59mm long, 12.27mm wide and 4.02mm thick. It weighs 2.41g.The stud probably dates to the Post Medieval period. It may be a furniture or household stud due to 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) illustrates similar studs (Nos. 525-532), except these have circular heads, dating to the 16th and 17th century.
