Description: | Post medieval copper alloy button. The button is biconvex, but very misshapen. The upper face is decorated with two raised leaf-like sections. Attached to the lower face is a long integral shank, square in section where it joins on to the button, but becoming wider and flattened towards the end. The end of the shank is rounded and slightly bent at the tip. It is pierced with a small hole. The button is similar to numbers 174-182 in 'Metal Buttons c.900BC-c.AD 1700', by Read (2005, 51-52). These are also biconvex with long integral pierced shanks, though none are decorated as this one is. Read (2005, 51-52) dates these to the late 15th-16th century. The metal is brown-green in colour with patches of lighter green erosion.Length: 25.1mm, Width: 13.8mmWeight:5g
