Description: | Medieval cast copper alloy stud with separate copper alloy sheet rove. The sud has a hemi-spherical domed head decorated with incised lines in cross-hatch design. The shank is angular, almost square with filed and hammered facets; it narrows slightly towards the end and the tip is slightly flattened. The sheet rove found with it is pentagonal in shape and is bent at about 45 degrees with a circular hole pierced though slightly off centre. The stud is 8.1mm in diameter at the head and 13.9mm long; the rove is 12.5mm by 10.1mm by 0.5mm thick; they weigh 2.21 grams.It could not be paralleled in the usual sources but the cross hatching is similar to Medieval bar mounts and the use of a sheet rove is also common on Medieval mounts, for example Egan and Pritchard (1993) p.212 no.1139 and 1143.
