Description: | Post-Medieval cast copper alloy button with remains of a separate iron shank. The button has a convex front divided into multiple evenly sized segments by cast indented lines. The edge is scalloped, expanded for each segment and indented at the ends of each line and there may have been an indented central dot, now corroded. The back is concave with a central raised pellet in which is embedded the rusted remains of an iron attachment. It has a diameter of 31.3mm, thickness of 5.2mm excluding the loop, 7.3mm including it and weighs 9.08 grams.Similar buttons are illustrated by Read (2005:84), in particular no.350, which he dates to the 17th century and suggests may be buttons or cloak fasterners.
