Description: | A cast lead button of probable seventeenth century date. The circular convex-fronted button measures 26.2mm in diameter by 4.7mm in thickness (excluding the lug) and weighs 13.8g. The front is decorated with a moulded designed consisting of a six-petalled flower with a pellet in between each petal. In the centre of the back is an integrally cast lug. There are several broadly similar buttons in Read's 'Metal Buttons c. 900BC - c.
