Description: | Medieval to Post Medieval cast copper alloy button (1450-1600 AD). The button is circular in plan with a domed front and back. The solid spherical button has been cast using the all-in-one method and has an integral drilled shank. The button is undecorated, and has a dark olive green patina. The button measures 15.0mm long, 12.5mm in diameter and weighs 5.74 grams. The button is similar to an example illustrated in Read (2005), p.33 ref. 115, which is an identical diameter. Read's example is from a secure sixteenth century context, but he suggests that such forms were likely to be in use as early as the late 15th century.
