Description: | Cast plain 'tombac' (copper alloy and zinc) button with chamfered rim and a raised soldered cone on the back from which the loop protrudes. The button was found while excavating a burial, along with other buttons that were attached to the remains of textiles. The button is 28 mm in diameter and 5.3 mm in thickness. The loop is 7.5 mm wide and 2.5 mm thick. This button may have come from the top coat, judging from its size.
Bailey (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 49, Fig.9, No.64 which is dated to the 18th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
