Description: | Two Post Medieval (16th and mid 18th centuries) furniture fittings: studs. The stud heads are a pointed oval in plan and domed in profile. The reverse of the head is hollow and has an integral square sectioned shank protruding from the centre which tapers to a blunt point. The surface of the studs have patches of a dark green patina otherwise it is abraded. They measures 23.72mm long, 10.6mm wide, 9.5mm thick, weighs 2g and 23.17mm long, 11.69mm wide, 9.7mm thick, weighs 2.7g.The studs probably date to the Post Medieval period. They may be a furniture or household stud due to the square sectioned shank. Margeson (1993) illustrates similar circular studs (Nos. 528-529) dating to the 16th and mid 18th centuries.Margeson, S. 1993 Norwich Households; Medieval and Post Medieval Finds from Norwich Survey Excavations 1971-78 East Anglian Archaeology Report
