Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy button of Medieval to Post-Medieval date. It has a solid faceted pyramidal head with faceted exterior edges. The back face is flat and has the remains of an integral suspension loop that appears to consist of a double stranded wire loop. It measures 10.93mm in width, 11mm in length, 8.74mm in thickness, and weighs 2.88g. A similar example is noted from London dated to the later 15th or 16th centuries AD (Egan, 2005: no. 178). Egan notes that the London example if from an earlier context may have been one of a pair of cufflinks, and it is possible that the current example may have performed a similar function. This suggests a date in the later Medieval or early Post-Medieval periods. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
