Description: | Roman stud with a cast copper alloy head and remains of an iron shank. The stud head is sub-spherical with a central indent on the top surrounded by a raised rim. The indent may originally have held enamel or a glass or paste 'gem'. There is a second raised ridge around the centre and below this the head is stepped in to the shank in three steps with thin ridges emphasising each step.There is only the stub of a circular iron shank remaining. It is 15.2mm in diameter and 11.9mm tall and weighs 9.57 grams.The exact design could not be paralleld in the usual sources but decorative studs with iron shanks and sub-spherical heads are illustrated by Crummy (1993: 115) where they are interpreted as furniture fittings.
