Description: | A medieval lozenge shaped (shield shaped) heraldic harness stud. The top of the stud projects upwards to a central point in the middle. The front is decorated with a central cross surrounded by a border, following the outline of the shape of the stud. It is likely that it was once enameled, but no traces now survive. On the reverse it has a shank, complete with a sub-circular rove, indicating that it would originally have been attached to a leather harness-strap or reins. The stud measures 19.75 mm long, 15.39 mm wide, 7.11 mm thick and weighs 2.1 grams.
