Description: | A worn complete copper-alloy Heraldic shield-shaped stud mount of Medieval date (AD 1200-1400).The object is shield shaped and flat with an enamelled probable heraldic device on the front of the object. Due to the wear of the enamel the device is unclear, there appears to be outline of three beasts passant gardant with a tail over its back. Seems likely that it was three lions passant gardant, the coat of arms of England from c.1198. The reverse of the object has an integral, single projecting circular shank/rivet and is undecorated.The remaining enamel is red and the lions were likely picked out in another colour which is now missing. The rest of the mount is a patinated grey-green colour.Measurements: 15.89mm high, 13.8mm wide, 13.38mm thick and 3.35g in weight.
