Description: | A cast copper alloy Post-medieval belt fitting or stud, probably used both as decoration and for strenghtening. The stud is in the shape of a quatrefoil but other than this there is no additional surface decoration. The stud retains two integrally cast copper rivets on the reverse to puncture through a leather strap - the rivets would then be hammered down over the leather to clasp it. These types of belt studs date from the late 16th to 17th century AD.
