Description: | A small cast copper alloy stud in the shape of a shield. The artefact is in good condition. No enamel survives on the obverse; however, the cast design is clear, showing three lions passant gardant (the arms of England until the early 14th century). There is a raised border around the edge. No gilding or survives, but there are traces of red enamel on the face. The stud is proportionately quite thick; the spike on the reverse is a cone with a rounded end. The surface has a dark grey patina, with some patches of turquoise corrosion. This artefact dates to the 13th or 14th century.
