Description: | Cast lead alloy button with a convex domed front and flat back. The front is decorated with a central pellet surrounded by an inner ring of six pellets and an outer ring of eight pellets. In the centre of the back is an irregularly shaped raised section with two circular holes in it theat go part way through the body of the button. These are probably attachement holes for a seperate imbedded wire shank, now lost. It is 26.4mm in diameter, 8.0mm thick and weighs 25.07 grams.It is similar in form to a button in Read (2005), p.80 No.330 which has the remains of the shank still attached and a design of raised pellets and lines; it is dated to the 17th to early 18th century.
