Description: | A complete cast lead button, probably dating from the 14th-17th century AD (diameter: 24mm; thickness/ depth: 14mm; weight: 8.24g). The front of the button is centrally decorated with a four-armed cross radiatting out from a central pellet, as well as four other pellets ? one alternating between the arms of the cross. Around the border, there is one pellet at each end of the cross with markings/ decoration in between (or possibly an inscription?). There is a lead suspension loop (diameter: 10mm) that seems to have been separately attached to the back of the button, with a possible casting line to either side. The button is in a worn but fair condition with some of the edges curled inwards. | 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: | 1300
