Description: | This copper alloy object is most likely to be a furniture fitting. It consists of a circular, convex bulb which has a hollow reverse. The bulb has projecting knobs at either end. One of these knobs appears to have once looped over, forming a means of attaching the item to something. This loop is now broken however. The other knob that projects from the bulb shows evidence of iron corrosion on either side and it would seem that the item was attached to something here by means of an iron pin or tack. The bulb is hollow within and the reverse is flat so that the fitting would have sat flat against an item of furniture. | 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 | Creator: | Tom Brindle | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
