Description: | Medieval cast lead alloy button. The button has a domed front, a flat back apart from a casting seam, a circular depression (probably casting flaw) and the remains of an attachment loop. The front is decorated with a sun design consisting of a raised central circle from which radiate 6 raised triangles; between the points are fleur de lis or four petalled flowers. Similar buttons can be seen in ??Buttons and Fasteners?? by Gordon Bailey (2004) on page 17 and 19 and on the database e.g. SWYOR-2D4944 and SWYOR-0056F7. These are dated from 1200 ?? 1500 and a similar date is suggested for this example. It measures 21.9 mm in diameter and is 4.7mm thick. It weighs 3.7grams. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | WALKER, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
