Description: | A cast copper-alloy button of early post-medieval date (c. 16th century). The button consists of a solid, boss head with a central integral shank that extends for 9.3mm. The shank expands slightly to a maximum width of 5.9mm before tapering gradually to a rounded end through which it is perforated. The constricted section adjacent to the head features transverse file marks. The head has a small central pellet, radiating out from which are ten ridges. A similar button can be found illustrated in Bailey (2004, 25; ref. 7.12), which is described as Tudor in date. This example has a mid-green patina over a red-brown metal with patches of off-white corrosion product.
