Description: | A small cast copper-alloy stud of possible Roman date. The stud has a broadly triangular sectioned head with a flat base and possibly faceted sides. The central shaft is square in cross-section and tapers gradually from the head to the point; it has been bent to one side. The head is up to 3.9mm high and up to 8.4mm wide; the shaft is 11.5mm long and up to 3.0mm across at the top. The artefact is probably Roman in date but its plainness makes it hard to rule out an earlier or later date. It is probably a decorative stud for a harness or furniture. This artefact has a variable green patina over an underlying red-brown metal.
