Description: | Post-Medieval lead-tin alloy cast button. Circular in shape, with a slightly convex upper surface, a concave reverse and a narrow flat border around the edge. The upper surface is decorated with a raised design of a flower with a central pellet surrounded by eight long pointed oval petals, curved lines link the outer end of each petal. On the reverse is a casting line runnning from edge to edge and in the centre a rectangular sectioned stub, probably an incomplete integral loop. It has a diameter of 17.2mm, thickness of 4.2mm and weighs 2.24 grams.The form and the general style of decoration is similar to buttons illustrated by Read (2005:67-8), no.262-71, dated to c.17th century. They vary in the designs on the front but none of the illustrated examples have a flower. See also SOM-7D57A5 on this database.
