Description: | A circular lead/tin alloy button, cast in one piece, with an integral undrilled shank on the reverse. The edge of the button is very worn and all that remains of the shank is a slight lump in the centre of the otherwise flat reverse. The convex front is decorated with a cast floral motif. A very similar button can be seen in Read's 'Metal Buttons c. 900 BC to c. AD 1700' (2005, p. 59, no. 223). This example has been dated to the 16th century. Dimensions: 16.5mm (maximum diameter) by 3.73mm (maximum thickness) Weight: 3.24g
