Description: | A copper-alloy stud with a slightly convex lozengiform head dating to the late medieval or early post-medieval periods. The head is decorated on the upper surface with a saltire cross and a central pellet within a square of pellets. The square sits diagonally within a beaded border. On the reverse is an off centre shaft of square cross-section bent to one side and twisted slightly at the tip. This mount has a parallel in an example illustrated in Read (2001, 27, 32; ref. 251) which is dated to the 15th or 16th century; see also SOM-CB5247, NARC-3A7A32, NMS-E2BAD5 on this database. It has corroded to a variable mid-grey/green colour.
