Description: | A copper-alloy button.consists of a slightly domed square plate of copper alloy. The button's front has a wide border around a sunken central square. Within this, in counter-relief, are four hollow L-shaped motifs around a central hollow square. There is some corrosion product filling the grooves in between the geometric motifs. On the reverse is an integral rectangular-section lug with a circular perforation through which the lug is broken.
Although this button appears Irish and early-medieval in style, there are several similar examples of post-medieval buttons on the PAS database (LVPL-DA7AA3, SWYOR-ED1E62 and, a little bit different, SWYOR-23F3E8). The two SWYOR examples have been examined by Kevin Leahy and confirmed as post-medieval. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1500
