Description: | A cast copper alloy object, circular in form, with a flat reverse. The front of the object rises to a pointed, central nipple, with two incised concentric rings around the circumference. There is no other decoration on the front. A corroded iron shank extends out from the reverse of the object behind the nipple. It is broken and it is therefore impossible to see how long this once would have been. The metal is pitted and is a mid greyish-green colour. This object appears to be of Roman date, but a search through the normal literature could not produce a parallel. It resembles part of a lock fitting or possibly some sort of furniture fitting.
