Description: | A cast lead alloy button of probably medieval or post-medieval date. The head of the button is sub-circular in plan, although it has been bent slightly out of shape. The reverse has an integrally cast broken attachment loop still attached. A casting flash also runs down the middle of the reverse. The front is decorated with a a cross pattee design, and in each angle of the cross there is a shield, each decorated with horizontal lines. The button measures 32.64 mm long, 27.84 mm wide, 12.14 mm thick (including the attachment loop) and weighs 32.1 grams. Similar buttons are recorded on this database (for example BH-273AB2 and BH-218F67). Bailey also illustrates a similar button (1997: 38), for which he suggests a date of 15th to 16th century..
