Description: | Cast copper alloy mount, probably a furniture mount. The object is a heavy moulded stud comprising a circular collar with two spheres above, the uppermost being smaller than the lower. There is an incomplete integral square sectioned shank below.
The mount has very visible casting seams running up both sides, and the surface is very irregular. This suggests that the object has been made in the vicinity and is an unfinished piece.
Similar finished objects are commonly found on Roman sites, and they clearly served many different functions, for example see: Jackson, 1990, p47, nos 130 & 131. | 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: | 43
