Description: | An incomplete cast lead alloy button, dating to the Post Medieval period, probably dating between AD 1600 - 1800 (diameter of decorative button head: 24mm; thickness at suspension/ attachment loop: 10.5mm; weight: 6.46g).Although badly worn and corroded, the decorative head of the button is in the form of a flower with six deeply recessed pear-shaped petals (length: 5.5mm; width: 3mm) radiating around the centre, which seems to have the remains of a slightly raised pellet. There appears to be additional decorative in between each petal in the form of a possible single linear leaf. There is a slightly break/ hole in one of the petal recesses. The back of the button is mainly flat although very uneven with the incomplete remains of a central suspension/ attachment loop protruding outwards by approximately 4.5mm. Overall, and as previously mentioned, the button is in a very worn and corroded condition with much of the outside edge of the flower-headed button incomplete.
