Description: | Cast lead alloy one-piece button, circular in plan and domed in profile with a solid square attachment loop with a circular aperture that is 3 mm in diameter. The attachment loop is 9 mm long, 6 mm deep and 4 mm thick, and the base of the loop has worn away so that the aperture is almost at the edge, but has not yet broken through. The upper face is corroded and encrusted so that it is difficult to make out any decorative details, but there appears to be a central raised pellet and interlocking arches alternating with pellets around the edge of the button, forming a border.Read (2005) illustrates a similar solid lead alloy button with a convex profile and a flower motif made of arches and pellets on page 61, No.236, which is dated from the 16th century.
