Description: | Post-medieval cast copper-alloy button with integral shank and incised design of a flower on the front. The button is circular. It has a flat front and back with a border around the front slightly stepped back. The front has a design of a six petaled flower with pointed stamens in the centre, the petals are faint but the stamens very clear. The back is rougher with an integral shank running across two thirds of the width. The shank is a tab, roughly D-shaped in profile with a large circular hole drilled through it. It is 14.5mm in diameter, 2.1mm in thickness excluding the shank, 8.4mm including it and the weight is 2.35g.A very similar example is illustrated by Read (2005:34), no.120, dated to the 17th to 18th centuries.
