Description: | Medieval cast copper alloy heraldic stud, probably of late 13th or 14th century date. The stud has a heater shield-shaped head, which is decorated with a raised rampant lion motif. Around the lion traces of crystallised enamel can be seen, the original colour is uncertain due to the degraded nature of the enamel. The integral shank projects from the reverse and it has a circular section. The point of the shank has broken off. Ashley (2002, p9-16) argues that many heraldic studs were attached to horse harness straps, but others may have been employed on various artefacts. A similar one can be seen in Ashley, p15.
