Description: | A cast copper alloy shield-shaped stud or mount. It has a single tapering pin attached to the reverse (length of pin 15.55mm). The pin has been bent inwards and has now corroded itself to the reverse of the stud. Slight traces of blue enamel survive in the top left hand corner of the shield shaped motif. The stud depicts a lion standing to the left. The reverse is flat, but slightly concave. It is undecorated but has the pin extending outwards from the centre of the plate. The stud is complete and is a good condition. The metal is a dark greenish-brown colour. These studs date to the medieval period and are circa 14th century in date. Parallel can be seen in Clark 1995, p70, fig: 53 and Ashley, 2002, p15-16.
