Description: | A cast copper alloy button of probable Post-Medieval date. It has a flat, round head that is slightly dome-shaped in section and undecorated. The back face has a suspension loop that comprises a double stranded wire loop that still retains blackened elements of what appears to be leather. It measures 10.05mm in diameter, 6.71mm in thickness including suspension loop, and weighs 1.09g. A button with similar wire suspension loop, although with different shaped head, is noted from London (Egan, 2005: no. 178). This is dated to the 15th or 16th centuries AD and may have been one of a pair of cufflinks. It is likely that the current example performed a similar function and dates to a similar period. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
