Description: | Copper alloyPossible button fragment. Cast hollow sub-spherical or biconical object with a flat knop on its apex; within, grey material may relate to the attachment of other parts of a composite object. This may be part of a three or five piece composite button, a long-lived form which Read (2005, page 25) considers of medieval origin. The object is robustly made, so an alternative identification as a pommel for a knife with a round-section handle might also be entertained. Suggested date: possibly Medieval, 1250-1500. Diameter: 18.0mm, Height: 14.9mm, Thickness (wall): 2.5mm, Weight: 7.84gms
