Description: | 17th Century Copper alloy Button. The button is domed and 23mm in diameter. It has a small circle carved into its centre which is surrounded by parellel lines which form a cross. In each quarter of the cross a motif is repeated. Its a group of three circles, one above two, which float over a downward facing crescent. The reverse is plain and has a sturdy button loop attached. It has a black patina to it which suggests it has been coated in bitumin, which was a common practice to protect the object. It is almost identical to one in 'detector finds' by Gordon Bailey (No 25, P.19)
