Description: | A worn cast copper-alloy button of early post-medieval date. The button consists of a solid, shallow plano-convex head with an off-centre integral shank, 4.9mm in length, broken before any loop following old damage. The head has a small central boss, radiating out from which are eight scrolled petals. Such floral or solar decoration on buttons with similar bosses can be seen in Bailey (1995, 19; ref. 10) and Meredith et al. (1997, 7). The examples illustrated in these books are dated to the 16th or 17th centuries. This button is very similar to one found in the vicinity recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database, ref. NARC-12DD84.
