Description: | An incomplete cast lead/tin alloy button of probable seventeenth century date. The button measures 22.9mm diameter and weighs 6g. It is circular with a convex front and a concave back. The front is decorated with a moulded central pellet and a clockwise hatched six-bladed impeller. On the reverse is the stub of the integrally cast shank. The edge is damaged. A similar example from East Devon features in Read's 'Metal Buttons c. 900 BC - c. AD 1700' (2005, p. 69, no. 272).
