Description: | A copper-alloy acorn-shaped finnial of Roman date. A parallel for this piece was found in the excavation of the Roman settlement at King Harry Lane, St Albans (I.M.Stead and V.Rigby; 1989; pp. 26; no.139), but no explanation was offered as to its function.
The bottom part of the object consists of a band of circular section, on the underside of which is a tapering circular attachment hole. The upper part is also of circular section and tapers towards the top, where there is a small projecting knob.
The object measures 22mm high, up to 10.3mm wide and weighs 10.08g. | 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: | 1
