Description: | Cast pewter button, circular in plan and flat in profile, with a beaded border of circular pellets on the face, and only the base of the attachment loop remaining on the back. What was probably a simple looped shank is now missing.
Egan & Pritchard (2002) illustrate similar examples in style (but these are twice the size) on page 169, Fig.109, Nos.813-814, which are dated to c.1400-1450.
Read (2005) illustrates various examples of lead/tin alloy buttons: three that have beaded borders and are flat in profile on page 17, Nos.45 & 47, and page 21, No.59, which are dated to the 15th century; and biconvex examples with beaded borders on page 19, Nos.54-58, which are dated to the 13th century. The smallest of these, No.54, is 8.5 mm in diameter, so closer in size than any others that the recorder can find. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
