The shank is a rectangular tab, tapering in thickness to a rounded end. A sub-circular attachment hole is drilled through the rounded end. The button face has moulded decoration in the form of 'C' shaped curls radiating around a central raised circular knop. The reverse is plain and the button now has a mid brown patination. The shank has been bent and the rounded end now projecting on a 45 degree angle from the base. The button measures 12.9mm in diameter, 3.9mm in thickness excluding the shank and the shank measures 7.9mm in length and 5.7mm in width. It weighs 3.06g.Read (2010; 72) illustrates similar examples (nos. 259 and 265) which he dates from the 16th to early 17th centuries.
