Description: | A cast copper-alloy bell-shaped stud of Roman date.
The stud is a classic example of a Roman bell-shaped stud, which resembles a bell in section. Starting with the shank, which is broken, there is a flat disc surface incised with a groove. The body of the stud then tapers inward before flaring out to form the bell.
The shank is broken, and rectangular in section. The mouth of the bell is concave with a raised circle in the centre.
This object was found by divers in the River Tyne downstream from the Roman bridge at Corbridge. | 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: | Rob Collins | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
