Title
Copper-alloy mount or stud of unknown date
Description
English: A cast copper-alloy mount or stud of unknown date. It is sub-pyramidal with a base that is concave in one plane only but more so at one side than the other. It seems likely that this was to allow it to seat against something curved and tapering. The more concave side has a shallow, linear notch running in from the edge across the base for about 3mm. The pointed tip is not central and leans slightly away from this notched edge. Close to the bottom edge there is a transverse, incised line around three sides, but not the side with the notch. It measures 14.48mm x 12.14mm at the base, is 15.81mm in length, base to tip, and weighs 10.48g. It appears to be complete with no areas of damage. The object was associated with Iron Age and Roman artefacts and coins but may be of a later date.
