Description: | A copper-alloy button of 17th century AD date (G. Bailey; 2004; pp. 31).
The head is circular in plan and has a domed upper surface which retains traces of gilding. The central panel of decoration consists of a flower head made from punched ring marks; this sits within a hatched area which is delineated by a circular punched ring border; the outer band has a scrollwork pattern formed by a series of punched ring marks. An integral loop extends from the centre of the concave back of the head. The slightly bent loop is sub-rectangular, has rounded top corners and a small circular sewing hole at the distal end.
The button measures 21.2mm in diameter by 6.9mm thick and weighs 4.35g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
