Length: 19.9mm; width: 16.3mm; thickness: 4.5mm; weight: 2.37g.The stud is in the form of a flower motif. At the front the centre is convex and has six evenly spaced circumferential lobes which are all convex at the front. The centre of the rear face there is an integral spike which is bent flat at a right angle against the body of the stud. The spike is sub-square in cross-section and tapers evenly to a point. The area around the spike, where it joins the rear face, is slightly concave. The metal may have a high tin content as the surface colour is grey. No patina has survived.
