Description: | A lead alloy button dating from the medieval period. It has a domed front decorated with a cross in relief, a flat back apart from the casting spur, and a large looped shank which is bent back against the button head. It has a diameter of 16.9mm and is 10.7mm thick. A similar button can be seen in "Buttons and Fasteners" by Gordon Bailey (2004) on page 17. This is dated from 1200 - 1500 and a similar date is suggested for this example. The button has a dark grey patina.
