Description: | Medieval tin coated copper alloy stud consisting of a flat, square head and square-sectioned pointed shank, probably for use in furniture upholstery. The top of the head carries moulded decoration which is either badly cast or obscured by the tinning. Within a pelleted border a saltire centres on a small boss. Cf. the decoration on rather larger studs such SOM-53DD97 and Read 2001, no. 251, but this example lacks the inner pelleted square. Head 10 x 10mm. Length 17mm (shank only 15mm). c.1475 - c.1539. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
