Description: | Post Medieval cast copper alloy button with integral loop, probably of 17th century date. The button is domed with a concave reverse. The loop is on a flat rectangular projection, extending from the centre of the reverse. The front of the button depicts a crude, left facing crowned bust with a flower (possibly rose) to either side. The bust is possibly of Charles I, however a silimar design is seen on some 15th century buttons. The surface and rim of the button are slightly worn. The front of the brooch is a dull brown-orange, while the back has a dull pale green patina. It has a diameter of 24.79mm and a maximum thickness (including loop) of 11.74mm. | 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: | 1500
