Description: | Cast copper alloy Roman terminal. The domed fitting has a knob at its apex and is circular in cross section. There is a collar running around the base of the terminal with a deep groove above. There is a moulded ridge at the base of the knob. The base has the corroded remains of an iron shaft. The surface is pitted at the apex, but is in good condition otherwise. It has a dull grey patina. The terminal is 30.64mm long (33.51mm long including the iron shaft), with a diameter of 20.77mm which decreases to 8.38mm at the knob. It weighs 37.02 grams. Mounts of this type are probably decoration from furniture or vehicles, though they may have had any number of uses.
