Description: | Cast copper and zinc alloy ('tombac') button, circular in plan and flat in profile, with a plain upper face and a domed back which is missing the attachment loop which would have been soldered onto the apex of the dome. The edge of the button is slightly bevelled or chamfered, but is now too corroded and incomplete to see if this continued around the circumference of the button.Bailey (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 48, Fig.9.51, which would have been plain before having a pattern incised into the surface, and is dated to the 18th century.
