Description: | A cast Medieval button made from copper alloy with a glass setting. The object is domed and circular with alternating raised and recessed rectangular panels decorating the area around the central setting. Underneath the dome is small loop that would have attached the object to clothing or similar. The glass setting is red in colour and the rest of the object is green in colour. The area underneath the dome is highly corroded, otherwise the object is in good condition. It weighs 1.2g, the diameter of the head is 13.72mm and its height is 7.30mm, the overall height is 10.71mm. A parallel can be found in Egan, G. and Pritchard, F.
