Description: | A worn cast lead-alloy button of probable medieval date. The button consists of a solid, plano-convex head with an integral shank, 10.6mm in length, with a relatively large loop. There is a line running centrally across the back and up the stem deriving from the casting process. The button is undecorated. Examples in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 274) made from lead or tin and with integral loops date from the medieval period, although the dating of this example to that period can only be tentative as this category of button continued on into the post-medieval period.
