Description: | A cast pewter late medieval button of probable 15th century date. The button is circular and convex and has a design which shows the crowned facing bust of the Virgin Mary with a floral spray each side. The reverse is flat and has some ferrous corrosion on it which probably relates to its missing attachment loop. A near identical example is illustrated in Bailey's 'Buttons and Fasteners: 500 BC-AD 1840' (2004, 19; Fig. 6.11). Diameter 24.4 mm, thickness 6.1 mm, weight 11.7 grams.
