Description: | Button and loop fastener or strap terminalPossibly a fragment of a mis-cast copper alloy button and loop fastener or strap terminal.This object consists of a single flat leaf-shaped panel, with a central raised circular moulding, concave in the centre, with central pip, possibly a setting for a stud. At one end, the remains of what may have been a second leaf-shaped panel remain, but this part of the object is broken and mis-cast.Parallels: This object is very similar to a fragmentary example of the 'button' from find no. 10, and may perhaps have been part of a pair to this object. It bears some similarities to pieces from the related 1843 hoard (e.g. M.34), but is not directly paralleled. The circular stud settings are similar to those on M.87. It is closest in style to Spratling's (2011) group VI.Measurements: Length: 27.0mm; width: 12.4mm; thickness: 7.7mm; weight: 6.0g
