Description: | A copper-alloy button of post-Medieval date (c. 1500-c. 1600). The back of the button and the loop are missing. The front is domed and the rear is convex. Moulded decoration at the front resembles a flower. It has a flat apex with lines radiating from the centre and the sides are formed by eight, evenly spaced, concave sub-lozenge-shaped 'petals'. The arrises delineating each petal have elongated lozenge-shaped punch marks. Close to the edge, between each petal, the triangular area is flat. The face of the edge has numerous file marks. The metal has a high tin content. It has a shiny brown patina at the front and the rear has a coarse matt pale grey surface. Diameter: 13.0mm; thickness: 4.4mm. Weight: 1.49g.
