Description: | A post-Medieval cast copper-alloy button with an integral drilled shank (1600-1700). The button is circular in plan, convex at the front and concave at the rear. At the rear the centre central shank, of elongated 'D' shape, is bent at an angle of about 45°. The drilled hole is filled with iron corrosion. There is also some iron staining on the surface of the rear face. Raised decoration at the front is in the form of a central six-petalled rosette with a large central pellet enclosed by a sexfoil composed of alternating chevrons and pellets. The front surface colour is drab mid-brown which is partially obscured by light green copper-alloy corrosion products. The rear face and the shank are wholly covered with similar copper-alloy corrosion products. Diameter: 23.4mm; thickness: 10.1mm. Weight: 6.13g. A similar button from South Devon has been published (Read 2005: 46, ref: 164).
