Description: | Cast copper alloy belt stud, quatrefoil in plan and flat in profile, with trefoil edges made up of a larger semi-circle flanked by two smaller semi-circles. The form of the mount appears to be emulating a flower with four petals, backed by four narrow leaves. There are two integral lugs on the back, one is still pointed, 8 mm long, and is curved outwards and the other is broken, 5 mm long, and curved inwards, which would have originally been used to attach the stud to a leather belt or strap.Read (2001) illustrates a similar quatrefoil mount on page 34, Fig.19, No.278, which is dated from the 17th century.
