Description: | Cast tinned copper alloy belt stud, circular in plan and domed and stepped in profile, with a flattened, recessed edge around the circumference of the mount, about 2 mm thick, surrounding the central dome that is 12 mm in diameter. There are two integral pointed lugs on the back, that are 9 mm long and curved inwards towards each other, which would have originally attached the stud to a leather belt or strap. The upper surface of the stud retains its layer of tin, giving it a silvery appearance.Read (2001) illustrates similar domed studs with two integral pointed lugs on page 33, Fig.18, Nos.266-7, which are dated from the 17th century.Read (1998) illustrates a gilt domed circular mount on page 116, No.754, which dates from the 16th to the 17th century.
