Description: | A cast copper alloy stud. The stud head is a pointed oval in plan and is domed in profile, almost forming a semi-circle. The reverse of the head is hollow and has a fragment of an integral square sectioned shank protruding from the centre. The shank is fragmentary, but the break is not recent. The surface of the stud has patches of a mottled dark green patina. It measures 21.62mm long, 11.64mm wide and 6.25mm thick. It weighs 2.8g. 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 circular studs (Nos. 528-529) dating to the 16th and mid 18th centuries.
