Description: | A lead alloy button which probably dates from the late medieval period. It has a diameter of 27.1mm and is 17.3mm thick. The front of the face is convex and is decorated with a raised centre surrounded by raised radiating lines with pellets at the end. There is also a raised border. On the reverse is a raised central rib and a projecting circular loop on a stem. A very similar button can be seen on page 17 of "Buttons and Fasteners" by Bailey (2004). This is dated to the fourteenth or fifteenth century. The button has a creamy yellow patina.
