Description: | A cast, lead-alloy button of probable late medieval or post medieval date (1400-1700).The button is circular in plan, with an incomplete, integral loop on the rear.The front face of the button is domed and is decorated by a series of raised, cast linear and circular lines. The button is divided into six, equal panels by three, linear ribs crossing each other over the centre point. Two, raised, concentric circles then divide these panels up into cels with some cells then sub-divided again by shorter, linear ribs. The overall design is of a spider-web. The reverse of the button is undecorated, however, a linear casting ridge is present across the diameter of the button. In the centre of the reverse of the button are the remains of an integrally cast loop.
