Description: | A copper alloy pin or stud, possibly a furniture fitting of Roman or medieval date. The fitting has a large undecorated globular head with a rectangular sectioned tapering shank protruding from underneath. On one side of the shank are seven horizontal grooves, mostly equidistant from one another. Thes grooves may be functional rather than purely decorative, possibly being notches to hold the fitting in place when inserted into furniture, for example.
