Description: | A cast copper alloy button dating to the fourteenth century AD. The button is circular in shape and hemispherical in section. There are four evenly spaced triangular notches cut into its circumference. The flat upper surface of the button possesses cast decoration comprising a circumferential panel of small rectangles. The inner circular panel is very worn but may show the petals of a flower with an N at their centre. A pointed oval attachment loop with circular perforation extends from the underside of the button. The button measures 16mm in diameter and 16mm in thickness. It is similar to a button illustrated in G. Bailey 'Buttons and Fasteners: 500BC-AD1840', p. 17. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Walton, Phillippa - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
