Description: | Post Medieval probable furniture fitting. At the lower end a tapering heptagonal section pointed shank has transverse grooves on three faces, probably to secure positioning in wood or timber. At the upper end a loop. The form from the latter downwards: spool moulding of ovoid section at the top and round section at the base which is decorated with obliquely engraved slashes, broad rounded moulding, two ribbed mouldings both with engraved slashes, and above the shank a short length of pentagonal section. Overall length 49mm, length of shank 14mm. Diameter 10mm. Diameter of loop 5mm. No good parallel noted. Perhaps 17th century. | 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: | 1600
