Description: | 18th century copper alloy 'dandy' button. The buttons face is decorated with an incised circle near the circumference and a concentric ring of triangular indentations. The back is flat with a small oval loop which is bent over level with the back. The button is pierced with a square hole, 3.6 by 4.2mm, with flared metal on the back probably formed by nailing the button to something from the front. Bailey (2004:60) illustrates a range of similar buttons, each with slightly different decoration.The button is 32.9mm in diameter and 1.2mm thick excluding the loop, it weighs 7.8 grams.
