Description: | A cast copper alloy stud. The stud head is a pointed oval in plan and is domed in profile, almost forming a semi-circle. The reverse of the head is hollow and has an integral square sectioned shank protruding from the centre. The surface of the stud has patches of a white metal alloy otherwise it is slightly abraded. It measures 20.07mm long, 11.02mm wide and 10.27mm thick. It weighs 2g.The stud probably dates to the Post Medieval period. It may be a furniture or household stud due to the square sectioned shank. Margeson (Margeson, S. 1993 Norwich Households; Medieval and Post Medieval Finds from Norwich Survey Excavations 1971-78 East Anglian Archaeology Report) illustrates similar circular studs (Nos. 528-529) dating to the 16th and mid 18th centuries.
