Description: | Post medieval button; incomplete cast gold button. The fragment consists of a roughly circular back plate with an integral loop of gold wire in the centre at the back. The plate is raised around the edge to form a collar for a stone setting. The collar is decorated on the exterior with a repeating line of semi-circles. The interior of the setting has rough scratch marks across the base plate (presumably to key the fixant for the stone or glass fitting) and traces of a dark blue-black material around the edges. The stone is now missing.
