Description: | Copper alloy stud. Cast quatrefoil heraldic stud with four knops projecting from between its lobes and an integrally cast fixing pin of length 18.5mm projecting from its back. The fixing pin has a bent burred end and may suggest the considerable thickness of leather through which it passed. The display face bears an armorial heater shaped shield charged with three crosses pattee around an object of uncertain significance, possibly a tree in leaf or a spread eagle set at a slightly eccentric angle. The quatrefoil form is thought to date to after c.1340. Suggested date: Late Medieval, 1350-1400.Diameter: 22.8mm, Thickness (clear of spike): 1.5mm, Weight: 5.81gms
