Description: | A worn but complete cast copper-alloy button of early post-medieval date. The artefact has a head in the form of a rectangle with rounded corners. It is plano-convex and thus semi-circular in cross-section. The shank is situated centrally on the flat back face, tranverse to the head. It is a crude extension, c. 9.5mm in length and 2.6mm thick, pierced for attachment. The piercing is off-centre and has caused an edge of the shank to bulge outwards. Wear and corrosion suffered by this object means that any original decoration has been lost. Buttons of similar form described as 'Tudor bronze oblong buttons' can be found illustrated in Bailey (2004, 23; refs. 7.2, 7.3).
