Description: | A complete cast copper alloy zoomorphic stud or pin. The object has a three-dimensional seated dog with an integral loop instead of a tail. The head has large ears, a long, wide nose. Protruding from the base, there is a circular sectioned stud or pin shaft. The surface of the dog has traces of a white metal alloy and a well developed dark green patina. It measures 14.45mm long, 7.17mm wide and 9.46mm thick from the terminal of the shaft to the top of the dogs head. It weighs 3.3g.A comparison cannot be found for this object, but It may date to the early Post Medieval period. It is more likely to be a stud/mount rather than a pin due to the flat base of the dog.
