Description: | Incomplete, solid, die-cut, domed, silvered copper alloy two-piece livery button embossed with the head two arms holding up the head of a bearded man wearing a head scarf, which is the crest of the Tremayne family, and would have been worn on the uniform of coachmen and the like.
The Tremayne family lived at Heligan, St. Ewe, to the south of the findspot, from 1603 until the 20th century. The button also has the backmark or trade mark of G. & W. Boggett and Co., St. Martins Lane, London, dating its manufacture to c.1843-1861.
The button is missing its attachment loop and much of the silvering on the back. | 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: | 1843
