Description: | Worn silver button which has been made into a love token, probably dating to the early 18th century. The button has a decorated front surface with an image of a dog sitting below a tree or plant of some description within a zig-zag border. The reverse is flat and undecorated but the remains of some form of loop or fixing for the button is visible. Love tokens were more commonly made from coins, particularly William III. The button has been bent into an ??S?? shape as was common for love tokens during this time.
The token measures 19.8mm in diameter and weighs 2.06g. | Subjects: | Love | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Marshall, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
