Description: | Large, heavy, solid cast copper-alloy knob, probably from furniture, with the remains of an iron attachment shank. The copper-alloy part is circular in cross-section, and flares gently from a base 20 mm in diameter to a maximum of 23 mm. From here, 11 mm above the base, it tapers more steeply to a freshly broken tip which is 7 mm in diameter. The knob is 24 mm tall. On the base is staining from the iron attachment shank. The copper alloy has a matt pale green patina. The knob may have been decorative or functional. | 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
