Description: | Incomplete copper alloy button, hollow and convex on the outside edge.
It is 16.3mm in diameter and is apparantly tinned - it has a high shine on the front. It stands 3.3mm and weighs 2.01g.
The button is identical to one in Read, 2005, p.97 no.386. This is described as a part cast part die-stamped composite three-piece copper alloy and iron button with separate soldered drawn copper alloy wire shank. This has an iron back-plate.
The decoration is of incised lines, pairs of which create a triangle, the points touching the outside edge. Outside the triangle three groups of incised diagonals create a v shape with diagonals in the same direction either side. Inside the triangle, each point is filled with horizontal incised lines.
The underside of the button has iron staining, further supporting its relation to Read no.386.
