Description: | A cast copper alloy stud, possibly a furniture fitting. The stud has a domed, undecorated head, which has an integral shank protruding from the base of the head. The underside of the domed head is convex. The shank is oval in section and tapers to a sharp point. The surface of the stud has a well developed dark green patina. It measures 16.94mm long and 6.58mm diameter. It weighs 0.8g.
A similar, but larger copper alloy stud is illustrated in Margeson (1993 Norwich Households; Medieval and Post Medieval Finds from Norwich Survey Excavations 1971-78. East Anglian Archaeology Report No. 58), No. 525, but this is larger than the recorded example and has an hexagonal shank. The Norwich example dates to the late 12th to 13th century. Crummy (Crummy, N 1983 Colchester Archaeological Report 2: The Roman Small Finds from Excavations in Colchester 1971-9, Colchester Archaeological Trust) also illustrates similar studs, Nos. 2992 and 2995, which were excavated from the second half of the 1st century layers. | 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: | 50
