Description: | A heavily pitted post medieval disc of lead with a double peircing at the centre, each 1.5mm in diameter. It measures 31.8mm in diameter and is 3.5mm thick. It weighs 22.89g (0.8070 oz, 353.2 gn). The disc is slightly bent in profile and it seems unlikely as a button. However the two piercings are undoubtedly fixing holes, and they do not appear worn which suggests they were attached to something permanently (in so far as a button is not because it is moved so much). Perhaps used around the house or garden, maybe as a label or decoration?? 1700+ in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
