Description: | A cast copper-alloy post-Medieval button (1600-1750). The button is circular in plan and flat at the front. It has a 'D'-shaped drilled circular perforation at the rear (diameter: 3.9mm). At the front there is a circumferential groove close to the edge. Close to this groove there are six unevenly spaced chevron motifs that point outwards. A small circular depression is slightly off-centre. On the front face there is an impression of numerous lines of small square indentations! This button has a bluish green patina overall. Diameter: 16.8mm; thickness: 9.4mm. Weight: 3.08g. A similar but slightly smaller button, from South Somerset, has been dated 17th century continuing into the 18th century (Read 2005: 30, ref: 122).
