A cast, copper alloy shield shaped mount dating from the medieval period, AD1250-1450. The face of the mount carries an heraldic design consisting of a bend dexter of three lines, on each side of which is a lion rampant. This can be described as three bendlets between two lion rampant. Any enamel that may have been incorporated into this design is now missing so the original colours are not known. The outer edges of the shield are all slightly inclined towards the centre. On the reverse of the shield are the remains of a substantial mounting pin, roughly hexagonal in section, the point of which is now broken away and is missing. The stud has a light brown patina. It is 18.8mm long, 16.1mm wide and 8.4mm thick. It weighs 4.92gm.<p class="mw-empty-elt"></p>
<p>For a discussion of these studs, see: Griffiths, N., 1989, <em>Finds Research Group, Datasheet 12. </em>This design with a single bend was refers to the German family name Kiburg, but a reference to the three bendlets has not yet been found.</p>
