Description: | A Roman cast copper-alloy object, probably a furniture fitting. Items similar to this piece have been found on Roman sites (see, for example, N. Crummy; 1983; pp. 167; no. 4656), where they have been interpreted as handles. The object has a domed central section decorated with two indented horizontal bands - one at the top and one at the bottom. This central section tapers upwards towards a globular finial and downwards into a circular attachment plate. The underside of the object is flat and there is a damaged circular integral rivet protruding from the centre. The object measures 32.1mm high, by up to 17.1mm in diameter and weighs 29.46g.
