Description: | A copper alloy post-medieval or early modern stud, possibly a collar stud or something similar. The stud comprises two circular discs, one larger than the other, joined by an integral shank. The smaller of the two plates is quite thick and is decorated with five segments of blue enamelling surrounding a fluer-de-lys. There is a five-petaled flower in the centre. The larger plate is slightly domed. Although a collar stud seems most likely, the object may have also adorned a strap or belt. The style of the decoration suggests a post-medieval date; it is likely that this object dates to c. AD 1650-1850.
