Description: | A complete cast copper-alloy Medieval to post-Medieval stud (c. 1400-c. 1550).The stud is lozenge-shaped with a trefoil knop at each corner. Moulded decoration at the front is in the form of a formal flower motif consisting of a central pellet surrounded by twelve similar but slightly smaller pellets. The twelve pellets form a lozenge and follow the outline of the edge of the stud. The rear face is flat and has a central tapering integral spike, circular in cross-section.This object has a mid-green patina in places. At the front the raised elements have lost their patina revealing the surface of the metal as a matt reddish colour. The rear face has a mid-green patina and is also corroded in places.23.8 x 22.4 x 5.6mm. Weight: 2.43g.A similar stud from South Dorset has been published and is dated c. 15th early 16th century (Read 2001: 27, fig. 17, ref: 249).
