Description: | post-medieval small silver or tombac (?) button of flattened hemispherical form, hollow, with thin copper (?) wire loop for attachment embedded into centre of underside. Diam roughly 0.5 cm.This humble object is difficult to place. It is not apparently made in two parts, which rules it out as a 17th Century button. It is also smaller than most of these buttons and has a base metal loop. My guess is that it is likely to be 18th or even 19th Century and post-1708. Given the likely dating it seems unnecessary to get the metal analysed. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
