Description: | A cast copper-alloy button of early post-medieval date (c. 16th century). The button consists of a solid, flattened biconical head with a central integral shank, broken as a result of old damage. Only the beginning of the loop remains at the end of the rectangular shank. The head is plain, but corroded with a mid-green patina over a red-brown metal with patches of off-white corrosion product. A similar button can be found illustrated in Bailey (2004, 28; ref. 7.30), which is described as Tudor in date.
