Description: | Damaged and incomplete Roman cast copper alloy bell-shaped mount, stud or possible latch key. It is circular in plan with a concave surface and lipped edge, which is now damaged and incomplete. There is a small raised knop at the centre of the concave area. The reverse has a cylindrical projection with slightly concave sides. There is an incomplete & corroded iron projection extending from the base of the cylinder, which would have either been a rivet to attach to a casket or other furniture item, or possibly the stem of a latch key. It is 20.20mm in diameter, decreasing to a 11.91mm diameter at the cylindrical projection. It is 16.57mm long and weighs 8.81 grams.
