Description: | Incomplete lead octofoil button, missing a probable integral undrilled shank.
The front of the brooch is steeply convex, the reverse a little shallower. To the front eight petals radiate from a central pellet and curl upwards slightly at their ends. On the reverse these petals extend from the stump of the shank that remains.
The button is 11.5mm in diameter and stands an incomplete 7.7mm high (without the shank). Weighs 1.74g.
Cf an almost identical example in Read, 2005, p.56 no.209, found on the River Thames foreshore, London. This is dated to the 16th/ early 17th 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: | 1501
