Description: | Complete and corroded copper alloy button of probable Post Medieval date (AD 1500 - AD 1800). Diameter 11mm and 5.3mm thick. Weight 1.20g.The button has a domed hollow head that is slightly flattened at the top. The sides curve round at the base to form a sub-circular aperture to accommodate the loop which appears to be integral with the underside of the head and not a separate entity. Encircling the head, near the base, there is a series of tiny oblique and shallow grooves. The loop, which is bent out of alignment, is made of copper alloy wire. The wire is D-shaped in cross-section, with the flat face on the inner side. There are traces of gilding on the head and the loop.
