Description: | Lead/tin alloy solid cast button with separate embedded drawn wire shank. A biconvex button with hammered faceting at the equator edge. The button is indented around the attachment point of the looped wire shank. Similar in construction to types illustrated in B Read, 2005, Metal Buttons, p. 23 (Nos. 74 and 75). Read states that such buttons possibly date from the medieval period but that similar types are found in 17th century contexts (ibid) Therefore, this is cautiously dated as Post-medieval, 16th to 17th century.Dimensions: 9.27 mm x 9.01 mm (diameter)Weight: 2.3 g
