Description: | A cast copper-alloy furniture fitting of Roman date, c. 43-410.The fitting consists of an L-shaped bracket, cast as one piece but to be fitted into other components. One arm of the bracket is cylindrical with a simple, tapered terminal. The other arm is sub-square in section, with a circular swelling in the middle of the arm with a circular hole in its centre. The arm ends with a thick moulded sub-rectangular collar flanked by smaller collars and a knob emerging out of the collar.In use, it is probably a bracket for a chair or table, though no exact parallel could be found.
