Description: | A cast copper alloy stud. The stud head is a very slightly domed sexfoil in plan with moulded grooves. The reverse of the head is hollow and has an integral square sectioned shank protruding from the centre. The shank is tapers to a sharp point. The stud has an abraded brown coloured surface. It measures 8.4mm long, 20.58mm diameter and weighs 4.8g.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 (No. 531) dating to the 16th and mid 18th centuries.
