Object type: STUD
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy object, probably either a stud from an item of furniture or a gaming counter for a game such as cribbage. The object terminates in a conical head and an integrally cast shank emerges below. This tapers gradually to a point. The relatively crude appearance of the shank perhaps suggests that it was intended to remain hidden, making a stud from a piece of furniture more likely than a gaming piece. The object is heavily abraded and corroded and now has a dark green to brown colour, missing most of its suface patina. The object lacks any distinuigishing characteristics …

A moulded lead bifaced token of medieval or post-medieval date.
