Description: | Upholstery tack with a tapering square-section shaft, now broken off short, and a hollow-domed head of pointed-oval shape. Length from top of head to bottom of broken shaft 7 mm, dimensions of head 21.5 x 12 mm. Upholstery tacks of this shape were used in the Roman and post-medieval periods and the two can be impossible to tell apart. This example is thick and well-made, and came from an area with many Roman finds, so may possibly be Roman. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 43
