Description: | Probably medieval copper alloy decorative rivet, presumably a furniture fitting. It has a circular-sectioned shank 10mm in length and max.4mm in diameter at the centre, below which it narrows to 3mm at the end and is slightly faceted. It shows signs of being tooled extensively and the end has a slight rim, perhaps where it has been hammered? To the other end the shank tapers only a little and has no signs of tooling. Presumably this half of the shank would have projected. The head is domed and 8.5mm in diameter, max 5mm high and decorated all over the curved surface with grooved cross-hatching. Weighs 2.55g. Length 15mm. | 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: | Katie Hinds | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
