Description: | Presumed copper alloy button facing with blackish patination on the display surface. It is conical, 15mm in diameter and 5mm from base to apex, and hollow within, the metal thickness being about 0.8mm. The blackish shiny surface is indented with a pattern of four hearts, together forming an octofoil, delineated by repeated stamps from a very small hollow-circuler punch about 0.6mm in diameter. This may have been part of a hollow button with a separate piece for the back with loop. Examples of fairly similar buttons are shown by Cuddeford p 16 Fig 14, etc, where they are attributed to the seventeenth century. | 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: | 1600
