Description: | A Post Medieval cast copper alloy discoidal button. The button is circular in plan with a raised pimple cast centrally onto one face. The second face is flat with a central scar where the loop has been lost. A small amount of the periphery has broken away through damage. Buttons of this type are made from a form of brass called tombac which patinates to a dull silver colour. This example dates to the 17th century. Similar buttons are illustrated in Bailey, Buttons and Fasteners (2004) p35.
