Description: | A complete and worn copper-alloy heraldic shield-shaped stud of Medieval date.It is flat. The front face has the remains of a gilded and enamelled heraldic motif that may be described as 'Gules, three lions passant or, a label azure' (three gold lions on an enamelled red background over which is a blue enamel label). On the back face is an integrally cast rivet. This is oval and tapers to a point.This stud measures 33.15mm in length, 26.66mm in width, 4.14mm in thickness (14.10mm including rivet), 18.15g in weight.This is a heraldic harness pendant of Medieval date. The heraldry has been identified by Edward Martin (SCCAS) as belonging to Edward of Caernarvon, Prince of Wales (later King Edward II), eldest son of King Edward I, who bore these arms in his father's lifetime. Edward was born 1284, Prince of Wales 1301, succeeded his father as king in 1307 and Died 1327. This was probably used by Edward and his entourage and suggests a relatively short date range of between c.1301-1307 AD. There is a similar example recorded on the PAS database (SF-4D29F7).
