Description: | A cast copper alloy button of probable late medieval date. The button is oval with a flat back and convex front. It measures 16.2mm by 7.3mm by 12.1mm and weighs 2.6g. In the centre of the back is the integral projecting shank which is perforated by a circular hole. The button appears to be undecorated, although the surfaces are worn. A button of similar size and shape can be seen in Read's 'Metal Buttons c.900 BC - c.AD 1700' (2005, p. 14, no. 41). This example, which is from the Thames foreshore, dates from the 15th century and has moulded-in-relief decoration.
