Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Probable iron furniture mount. The fitting has an undecorated solid plano-convex head with an integral circular sectioned shank below. This shank is circa 7mm in diameter. The shank is collared by an integral plano-convex head, circa 14mm in diameter, through which the shank appears to extend. This suggests that the object is more likely to be a furniture mount rather than a strap mount.
