Description: | Small copper-alloy nail or upholstery tack. The head is roughly circular, 11 mm in diameter. The shaft is 3 mm square in cross-section at the top and tapers to a point. It is now curved. Copper-alloy nails and upholstery tacks are difficult to date (the main two periods of use being Roman and late post-medieval). Although this one has a distinctly hand-made appearance and may be of some age, three much more neatly made and perhaps late post-medieval upholstery tacks were also in the same batch of finds (one with 13 mm diameter circular head, two with pointed-oval heads 19 x 10 and 20 x 11 mm) and not recorded. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
