Description: | A badly corroded cast copper alloy, bell shaped stud, probably a furniture fitting, dating from the Roman period. It is circular in plan, flaring at one end. The smaller end of the stud has a flat face with the remains of a ferrous shaft in the centre. The wider end of the stud has a flat rim and a concave central area. There are file marks on the rim. The stud has a rough, mid green patina.A more complete example from a second century context is illustrated in Crummy, 1983, Colchester Archaeological Report Number 2, page 125, number 4143. Further examples can be found on the database at references: HAMP-5AE9E3 and SWYOR-EF0EE5.
