Description: | Cast copper alloy and iron two-piece button with a hole in the back so that it is missing its attachment loop. The button mouldings have been cast around an iron core. The central fleuret is surrounded by four raised bosses, which appear also to be flowers, although there is now a lot of iron corrosion product around them. These flowers are within a square which has draped edges within a raised ring, and the border, around the edge of the button, is made up of a scroll pattern.Bailey (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 67, Fig.9.201, which is dated to the 18th century.
