Description: | A worn cast copper-alloy button of Post-Medieval date. It has a globular hollow body with integral suspension loop at the top that has a central circular aperture. The body of the button has openwork decoration comprising six evenly spaced oval-shaped apertures on the upper surface/hemisphere, with a corresponding group of six similar apertures on the lower surface/hemisphere that radiate around a projecting central nipple. All of the apertures are extremely worn and encrusted. It measures 17.88mm in length, 11.31mm in width/diameter, and weighs 2.41g (including encrusted earth within the interior of the object). This is a copper-alloy button of early Post-Medieval date that is identical to examples recorded through the PAS (e.g. ESS-B3FA12, ESS-366D50 or ESS-F1ECD6) and a published parallel from Norwich (Margeson, 1993: no. 102). It is of 16th-17th century AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
