Description: | A cast lead button of probable medieval date.
The button is heavy and robust, and apart from the squashed loop, survives intact. The head has a flat back and cast decoration on the convex front. The decoration consists of a domed central boss and, around this, a ring of six slightly smaller bosses. Immediately surrounding the central boss is a raised double ring and an outer circle of six small pellets. Six slightly larger pellets are located close to the outer edge of the button and small pellets also form a band around the perimeter. On the reverse is a squashed integral loop and a casting mark.
The button measures 26.6mm in diameter, 9.2mm thick and weighs 18.49g. | 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: | 1200
