Description: | Silver and copper alloyButton. Biconical, probably hollow, button, the front being markedly taller, with stub of a wire attachment loop on its back. The loop was broken during initial examination, revealing a purple tint indicating its material to be silver; the button front might also be silver or base silver. However, greenish corrosion is also present, so it must remain uncertain as to whether the object is a composite of copper alloy and silver, or whether this arises from brazing. The wire loop tends to suggest a later date than the small size and simple biconical form might otherwise suggest; suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1700.Diameter: 9.65mm, Height: 8.73mm, Weight (possibly soil-filled): 0.84gms.
