Description: | Post medieval composite, two part circular button with central pimple, probably made of tombac (copper-zinc alloy). The front is plain and slightly domed apart from the pimple and a border of two rows of alternative spaced semi-circles filled with diagonal hatchings. The back is flat with a possible central attachment. The button is probably a two piece button of the late 17th - 18th centurys. It is 27.9mm in diameter, 13.7mm thick and weighs 16.56g. The button was weighed with wet mud still inside and will have distorted the weight of the button. The button is damaged and has c. 35% missing to breaks.
