Description: | A copper-alloy nail or stud, probably from an item of furniture. The object may be Roman, and this is supported by the fact that it came from an area from which other Roman finds have been recovered. The object has a globular head and a tapering shaft which appears largely to be complete. The fact that the shaft tapers towards a point and is only 21.2 mm long makes it more likely that this is a nail or stud rather than a pin head. Similar examples were excavated from Roman Colchester (see Crummy 1983, page 115; Figure 116). The object measures 8.37 mm wide and weighs 2.2 grams.
