Description: | A copper and zinc alloy (tombac) dome-shaped button, dating from the 17th century. It is undecorated except for a small, raised pellet (or pimple) in the centre. The suspension loop was of ferrous material and has corroded away. The button is 12.5mm in diameter and 7.3mm thick. It is solid and weighs 3.42gm. Similar examples can be seen on page 35 of "Buttons and Fasteners" by Gordon Bailey (2004).
