Description: | A complete copper alloy button of later Medieval to Post-Medieval date. It is hollow, hemispherical in form with a domed front face and flattened back face. Extending from the centre of the back face is a small copper alloy suspension loop that is circular in form with a central circular perforation and probably separately cast, although this is uncertain due to encrustation. The button is plain and undecorated, measuring 13.67mm in diameter, 13.08mm in height, and weighing 2.07g. Similar buttons are noted in Medieval and Post-Medieval London (see for example Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 1398, 1404; Egan, 2005: no. 204) and suggest a possible date range in the 14th-17th centuries AD for the current example. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
