Description: | Probably a fragment of a cast copper-alloy Roman lock-pin. The pin is derived from a small lock from a box or cupboard. The artefact comprises a circular head, decorated with two concentric rings, with a raised circular knop in the centre. Around the edge of the head there is wide, outward tapering rim, which has been badly damaged. The head measures 23.9mm in diameter. On the under side of the head there is a broken stud, which would have attached the object to shank. The copper alloy is a mid greyish-green colour. A parallel can be seen in Crummy, p125, Fig: 137. It is also possible that this object is a post-medieval furniture fitting.
