Description: | Post medieval cast copper alloy button with integral shank and stamped design of a flower on the front. The button is circular although the edges are now clipped. It has a flat front and back. The front has a design of a six petaled flower with prominent spiked sepals between the petals all within a double line circular border. The back is rougher with an integral shank runing across two thirds of the width. The shank is a tab, roughly D-shaped in profile with a large circular hole drilled through it. The hole is now mostly filled with concreted soil. It is 14.3mm in diameter, 2.3mm excluding the tab, 8.5mm including and weighs 2.25 grams.A very similar example is illustrated by Read (2005:34), no.120, dated to the 17th to 18th centuries.
