Description: | A cast lead button of Post-Medieval date. It is circular with a flat back and moulded, domed front face. At the centre of the front face is a raised dot from which radiate six raised bands that run to the edge of the button. Between the bands is moulded transverse decoration. The back face is undecorated but has a prominent transverse casting seam. From the centre of the back face extends the integral suspension loop that is lozenge shaped in section and oval shaped in profile. The button measures 11.09mm in diameter and weighs 3.27g. It probably dates to the 17th century AD when such decorated lead buttons were particularly common. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
