Description: | A complete cast copper-alloy Medieval stud (c. 1200-c. 1400). The stud is shield-shaped in plan. At the front, the surface is coated in dark blue enamel and has three empty cells that were probably filled with enamel of a different colour. Each cell is an inverted crescent-shape, a large one at the top and two smaller below, one at each side. At the centre of each cell there is an enamel pellet, also coloured dark blue. At the centre of the rear face, an integral tapering spike is sub-oval in cross-section. There is no indication that the spike has been burred-over at the end. The rear face is mainly covered in loose light green powdery copper-alloy corrosion products. 17.1 x 13.5 x 9.3mm. Weight: 3.07g.
