Description: | Cast copper alloy belt stud, quatrefoil in plan and domed and stepped in profile, with three concentric rings, rising in three stepped levels, and culminating in a central circular knop that is 4 mm in diameter. The central knop has a circular recessed dimple that is 2 mm in diameter. The flat quatrefoil base of the stud is in the form of a rosette with four rounded petals alternating with pointed leaves that extend as knops beyond the curved edges. Only one of the two integral pointed lugs on the back survives and its point is missing, while only the base of the other lug remains. The lug is 5 mm long, 3 mm wide and 2 mm thick and is now straight but would have originally curved inwards towards the other lug in order to attach the stud to a leather belt or strap.Read (2001) illustrates a similar mount with three concentric circles and two integral pointed lugs on page 34, fig.19, no.280, which is dated from the 17th century.
