Description: | Complete and corroded copper alloy button of probable Post Medieval date (AD 1500 ? AD 1800). Diameter 11mm and 5.3mm thick. Weight 1.20g. The button has a domed hollow head that is slightly flattened at the top. The sides curve round at the base to form a sub-circular aperture to accommodate the loop which appears to be integral with the underside of the head and not a separate entity. Encircling the head, near the base, there is a series of tiny oblique and shallow grooves. The loop, which is bent out of alignment, is made of copper alloy wire. The wire is D-shaped in cross-section, with the flat face on the inner side. There are traces of gilding on the head and the loop. | 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
