Description: | Circular mount of the type sometimes known as 'bell-shaped studs'. It consists of two halves, one a plain disc 17 mm in diameter and one a concave disc 20.5 mm in diameter, separated by a cylindrical neck 11 mm in diameter. The concave disc has now lost much of its edge; it has a groove just inside the surviving part and there is a large truncated-cone boss in the centre. There is a narrow moulding around either end of the neck and the plain disc has a groove around its 2 mm thick circumference. On the reverse of the plain disc are the remains of an iron attachment shank. Although these mounts seem to be most often used on furniture (as decorative mounts or functional knobs) they have also been found used on related items such as doors and boxes. | 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
