Description: | Medieval copper alloy silvered and enamelled (now mostly missing) heraldic stud with a lion on the front, Gules a lion rampant argent, 13th/14th century in date. The stud is shield shaped and measures 13mm at its maximum width and is 16mm in length. The cirular-sectioned shank (4.5mm in diameter) extends out by 6mm to a sheet copper alloy circular fixing which is 7mm in diameter. The stud weighs 2.6g.The lion appears to have traces of silver on the leg and would have been on red background. On the right hand outside edge of the shield edge there is also a trace of gold. This is most likely to be the Mowbray family arms although it is very similar to the description made by Read (2001) of fig 257 which belongs to the Stapleton family.
