Description: | Cast copper alloy button with raised pattern of central cross and cross of pellets within border of pellets and a scallop shell in front of a field of pellets in each angle. These motifs suggest that the button was perhaps related to pilgrimage. The back of the button has a rounded shank, rectangular in section, with a circular loop hole. The style of the button and shank suggests that it is 18th century in date.Bailey (2004) illustrates a similar copper alloy button with pellets in a cross formation on page 69, Fig.9.226, which is dated to the 18th century.
