Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman furniture fitting or mount. The mount is biconical or acorn-shaped with a flat disk or skirt for a base. On the flat underside is the remains of an iron shank, which appears to continue up through the length of the fitting it the apex, where a hole filled with iron can be seen. It may be that there was another final knop on top of the fitting which is now missing. A number of Roman furniture fittings or mounts are recorded on this database, including 'acorn-shaped' examples, and a given a general Roman date of AD 43-410.
