Description: | Cast plain 'tombac' (copper alloy and zinc) button with chamfered rim and a raised soldered cone on the back from which the loop protrudes. The button was found while excavating a burial, along with other buttons. This button was found attached to a fragment of textile and is corroded with shell fragments attached to the surface so that any decoration is difficult to make out.
The button is 20 mm in diameter and 3 mm in thickness. The loop is 7 mm wide and 2.5 mm thick. This button may have come from the waistcoat, judging from its size.
Bailey (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 49, Fig.9, No.64 which is dated to the 18th 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: | 1700
