Description: | Silver button of circa 17th century date, complete and in good condition. This button is circular in shape and has a down-turned sloping edge. The front face is decorated with two hearts with a crown above them. Projecting from the centre of the back face there is a loop.Discussion: This button is very similar to other examples of 17th century date such as those from Sible Hedingham, Essex (2004 T362), Cundall, North Yorkshire (2004 T212 and 213) (Treasure Annual Report 2004, 120-121, no 239, 242-243). The precious metal content of this button fulfils the requirements of the Treasure Act in that it is greater than 10 %.Faye Minter
