Description: | Heavy cast copper-alloy functional knob or decorative mount, probably from furniture. It consists of a solid hemispherical section with a flat-topped ridge around the base, sitting on a hollow, slightly flaring ring which is decorated with a broad concave moulding. The hollow inside is rough and presumably originally held an attachment device; these are normally of iron, but there is no trace of iron corrosion. Much of the surface has been removed by corrosion, but where it does survive it is glossy and grey-green. Height of mount 21 mm, maximum diameter 23.5 mm. | 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
