Description: | A complete copper alloy Heraldic stud Mount of Medieval date (AD 1150-1450). The object is shield shaped and flat with the enamelled heraldic device composed of an outer boarder which respects the form of the object, a void, within which is a central triangular escutcheon. The void mostly likely contained an inner blue enamelled boarder. The reverse of the object has an integral, single projecting rivet and is undecorated.William De Ferrers of Groby, Leicestershire (late 13th C.) has a similar device with a border of seven mascles, but no central escutcheon, the device could be associated with this family.The metal is a light green in colour with a pitted and corroded patina.Similar examples can be seen on the Portable Antiquities Database: LEIC-4745EE and LVPL-B3CE13.Clark (eds), P 70, No 77.Height: 17.79mm, Length of Rivet: 8.09mm, Width: 14.71mm, Thickness: 3.32mm, Weight: 4.2g.
