Description: | Modern cast copper alloy livery button. The button is slightly convex on the front and concave on the back and the front has a white metal coating. On the front is a raised design of a elephants head facing left and rising from a coronet. The back is worn with no visible makers mark and a seperate copper alloy loop attached in the centre. It is 25.5mm in diameter, 1.5mm thick excluding the loop, 6.6mm including and weighs 4.45 grams.Several familys used the elephant head as a crest but various branches of the Knollys/Knowles used the elephant rising from a coronet so it is probably one of that family (Squires 1976: plate 47).
