Description: | Globular button made from white metal, 10 mm in diameter and 8 mm thick. On the back is a deep depression where a separate wire loop was originally fixed. Similar buttons (though apparently made from copper-alloy with a tin coating) are known from 13th-15th century contexts in London (e.g. Egan and Pritchard 1991, nos. 1385-93) and may continue into the post-medieval period. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Geake, Helen - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
