Description: | A cast solid silver button. The button is almost spherical, although in section it appears bi-conical. The button is completely undecorated.
On the reverse there is a hole in the buttons surface, which would once have held the loop in place. The loop is now missing, leaving behind the empty hole. The silver around the hole has been tucked in out of sight and the hole is very neat.
The button weighs 3.47 grams.
The button was taken to the British Museum for identification to check that it did not date to pre-1705. Had the button been over 300 years old it would have been a Treasure find. The British Museum states that the button dated to post- 1705. | 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: | 1705 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
