Description: | A cast copper-alloy shield-shaped stud of the Medieval period.
The stud consists of a shield-shaped plate (that is to say a downward pointing triangle with slightly convex sides) with heraldic decoration, and a multi-faceted shank.
The shank is 14.3mm long and 4.66mm thick at the base, and it consists of four faces that taper to a rounded point.
The plate has an alternating pattern of raised squares, such that a checkerboard pattern is created. There is also a horizontal band across the plate, with two rows of squares above the band, and three below. The recessed squares may have originally contained enamel, but no trace of any such decoration remains.
The find is similar in appearance to HAMP-28E196. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Collins, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
