Description: | Cast copper alloy late Medieval to early Post-Medieval stud, tack or mount. The item is flat and lozenge-shaped (lozengiform) with one (broken) attachment spike projecting from the centre of the plain reverse which is square in section. The front has moulded decoration - on each corner of the lozenge there is a lobed trefoil whilst the centre of the lozenge carries a stylised flower, with central pellet, design.
A similar example can be seen in B. Read (2001), 'Metal Artefacts of Antiquity', p.32, no.249.
