Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy heraldic shield-shaped stud of Medieval date. It is missing the majority of the integral rivet due to old breaks, now worn.It is flat. The front face carries a enamelled heraldic device possibly comprising the arms of Deincourt family that may be blazoned either as 'Azure, a fess dancetty between six billets or' or 'Azure, billety and a fess dancetty or'. On the back face is the remains of an integrally cast central oval rivet.This stud measures 22.53mm in length, 18.56mm in width, 2.98mm in thickness (4.75mm including rivet) 5.18g in weight.There is a similar example recorded on the PAS database (SF-267632). The arms are those of the Deincourt family and Edward Martin (SCC, pers. comm.) notes that "In particular, the arms were borne by : Sir Edmund Deincourt, de jure 1st Lord Deincourt of Blankney and Branston in Lincolnshire, Holmesfield and Elmton in Derbys., Granby and Thurgarton in Notts., Duddington in Northants. and Burnby in Yorks. Succeeded his father, Sir John, in 1257, but was still a minor in 1269. Summoned to serve against the Welsh 1277, 1282 and 1294, and against the Scots 1291, 1297, 1300 and 1301. Summoned to Parliament as a Baron in 1299. Died 6 Jan. 1327, succeeded by his grandson William (son of his son John).". This suggests a date range in the late-13th to early-14th centuries AD for the current example.
