Description: | Small pewter post medieval button. The button is discoidal, with a convex front and flat back. Due to high levels of errosion, small parts of the outside edge have broken away and any decoration is now impossible to see. It has an integral shank, but as this is also highly erroded and much is missing, the original shape can not be determined. Similar buttons may be seen in Read (2005), pp.56-70, but due to the condition of this button closer parallels can not be drawn. Read offers a largely seventeenth century date for these buttons.
Diameter: 15.14mm, Thickness: 6.97mm.
