Description: | Circular, convex lead alloy button, probably of seventeenth or eighteenth century date. The button has been cast and is of solid construction, with the remains of a looped shank on the otherwise flat reverse. The conical front is decorated with a central nipple from which eight regular three-lined spokes radiate. Between each spoke there are four parallel lines, perpendicular to the spokes. A button of a similar size and construction has been dated to the seventeenth or eighteenth century by Read in his book 'Metal Buttons, c. 900 BC - c. AD 1700' (2005, p. 80, no. 330). | 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
