Description: | A Post Medieval copper alloy stud dating 16th - 17th century. This stud has been cast in one-piece with a domed oval head, hollow reverse and integral pin for attachment. The pin has a square-shaped cross-section and has broken approximately mid-way along its length. The domed surface has a large quantity of a white metal coating remaining.A similar stud is illustrated in Margeson (1993:83); it has a similar construction but has a round not oval head. Margeson (ibid) notes these cast studs were probably used for furnishings, especially in the 16th and 17th centuries, though some might have been used for harness.Dimensions: length: 22.00mm; width: 12.46mm; thickness: 9.51mm; weight: 3.61g.Reference: Margeson, S.1993.
