Description: | Incomplete Post Medieval cast copper alloy button missing most of its separate embedded iron wire shank. It is hollow and discoidal in shape with a convex front and flat back. The front has a domed centre with a pellet surrounded by an indented ring at the apex and a ring of regularly spaced indents on the sides. The domed centre is surrounded by two raised rings, one at the outer edge. There are several air holes from miscasting or later corrosion on the front. Two stubs remains of the seperate iron shank on the back. It measures 13.9mm in diameter, 4.7mm thick; 6.7mm including the iron shank; it weighs 2.40 grams. It is similar in form to several buttons in Bailey (2004 p.35) dated to the 17th century, although more decorated.
