Description: | A copper-alloy Medieval suspension mount with integral stud. The circular body of the stud has a diameter of c.15.83mm and is slightly convex. At the centre of the body a faint flower head can be seen with stalk below and a leaf on either side of the base of the stem. Two lugs project below, at 90 degrees, the circular body and are formed by sheet metal being folded back to rest on the underside of the stud. The lugs are c.6.57mm long, 3.14mm wide and 3.56mm thick. The shaft of the stud, which is probably incomplete, has a current length of 7.02mm and circular cross-section of 3.04mm diameter. Traces of gilt can be seen on the upper surface. This stud dates from the 13th to 14th centuries. Dimensions: weight 2.65g, diameter 15.83mm, length 23.88mm.See Read, B. 2001, P.47 & 52, Fig.31, No.403 & 404.
