Description: | A squashed and incomplete copper-alloy button of probable 17th century AD date.
The button, which would originally have been circular in plan, is domed, with a convex front and concave back. The central portion of the front is flattened, although it is unclear whether this is an original feature of the artefact or the result of post-depositional damage. The surface appears to be plain, but there is a suggestion of a punched floral design close to the outer edge and it is possible that the button is simply very heavily worn. A remnant of the integral loop is located at the centre of the back.
The object measures 35.4mm in diameter, 8.4mm thick and weighs 13.28g. | 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: | 1600
