Description: | A cast copper alloy button of probable sixteenth century date. The solid circular button has a convex front and a flat back. The rounded integral shank contains an off-centre drilled hole. The front of the button is decorated with a moulded design consisting of a central pellet surrounded by eight curving spokes with rounded ends. A very similar button can be seen in Read's 'Metal Buttons' (2005, p. 33, no. 112). This example is 16th century in date and was found in north-west Dorset. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
