Description: | A worn cast copper-alloy button of Post-Medieval date. It has a biconical head that is hollow with openwork decoration consisting of six evenly spaced triangular apertures on each hemisphere that radiate from the centre to circumference of each hemisphere. At the centre of the lower hemisphere is a projecting globular knop, while at the centre of the upper hemisphere extends an integrally cast sewing lug. This is flat, oval shaped in form and with a central circular aperture. The entire object measures 17.28mm in length, 11.53mm in diameter at circumference and 2.56g in weight. This button is similar to other examples recorded through the PAS (e.g. HAMP-B924A7 or WMID-E0CA07) and is of probable 16th century AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
