Description: | A discoidal cast lead-tin alloy button or cloak fastener. The object is decorated in moulded relief consisting of a raised cross through the centre with four indented chevrons within each cross-bay, all contained within a curvilinear border. The object has a slightly convex obverse and part of the shank survives on the reverse.The size of this object suggests that it was more likely employed as a cloak fastener rather than a button. For an exact parallel, see Read 2005 p75 fig 299.The button / cloak fastener is 26.23mm diameter, 6.67mm thick and weighs 13.70gms. It dates to the 17th century.
