Description: | A pair of miscast lead alloy buttons dating from about the late Medieval to late Post-Medieval periods. There are two domed and decorated buttons joined by casting sprue. The buttons are circular and domed and each button has been decorated with a low relief design of central concentric circles surrounded by eight ring-and-dot motifs. Together they measure 36.6mm in length, 20.2mm in width, are 7.2mm thick and weigh 21.09g. The bottom is smooth with a slightly shiny appearance; one of the button bases has a small concave depression in its centre. These are presumed to be the front of buttons which were case before adding their attachment loops. Buttons with a similar design can be seen at PAS record IDs: LEIC-0E19D7 and PUBLIC-B6E824. These were discarded during the manufacturing process, so are evidence of industry.
