Description: | A cast copper alloy stud. The stud head is an octagon in plan, with a moulded design consisting of a possible flower. There are traces of gilding on this surface. On the reverse of the stud head there is an integral stud which is square in section and tapers to a blunt point. The stud measures 18.9mm long, 19.3mm wide and 9.06mm thick, weighing 4g.
The stud is probably a furniture fitting, as it has a square section. Round section studs tend to be strap fittings. The style of the stud suggests it dates to the 17th to 18th centuries. | 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
