Description: | An incomplete cast lead-alloy button of probable 17th century date (1600-1700). The button is circular in plan, convex at the front and flat at the back. The front is decorated with raised lines in low relief radiating out from the centre to form a flower-like design. At the back, two indentations may have held a drawn iron wire loop (now missing). The object is worn and abraded and has traces of a buff patina. Diameter: 27.9mm; thickness: 8.5mm. Weight: 35.54g. A similar button has been recorded from Chale parish, Isle of Wight, c.f. IOW-B36107.
