Description: | A cast copper alloy stud probably Roman in date. The stud has a head which is circular in plan and oval in section and a roughly circular sectioned tapering shaft that nannows to a rectangular point at the end. A similar nail or stud is detailed by Crummy (1983, p.115 and fig. 116, object 2995) in "Colchester Archaeological Report 2: The Roman small finds from excavations in Colchester 1971-9". This is from a context dated to c.150-200 AD and is identified as almost certainly from furniture upholstery. Similar medieval examples are also known but ones of this form are mostly identified as Roman. Various similar studs are recorded on the database including WMID-6902E6 and WILT-B13F72.It measures 13.3mm in length and the head is 5.7mm in diameter. It weighs 0.83grams.
