Description: | A cast lead alloy button of post-medieval date. The solid one-piece button was formerly circular but damage to the edge has reduced its size. It measures 29.52mm by 25.48mm by 8.68mm thick and weighs 13.6g. The convex front is decorated with sixteen regular moulded spokes which radiate from a central pellet. The back is flat except for the remains of the broken central shank. A similar button can be seen in Read's 'Metal Buttons c.900 BC to c.AD 1700' (2004, p. 62, no. 238). This example, which is from south Somerset, has been dated to the seventeenth century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
