Description: | A complete cast copper alloy furniture fitting of post-medieval date. The stud head is a very slightly domed sexfoil in plan with moulded grooves, while the reverse is hollow and has an integral square sectioned shank protruding from the centre. The shank is tapers to a sharp point (measuring 17.6mm long). Margeson (1993) illustrates similar circular studs (No. 531) dating to the 16th and mid 18th centuries; the square shank points to this being a furniture fitting rather than a strap fitting, although smaller examples of the same type are usually recorded as such.
