Description: | A large lead alloy button, dating from the late medieval to post-medieval period. The button is roughly circular in plan and D-shaped in section. The underside of the button has a casting seam and the remains of an iron loop; the face side has two prongs from the loop lying flat to secure the iron in place. There is a crude inner circle in the face of the object, but is it unclear if this is intended to be decoration or is a product of the manufacturing. It is likely that this button dates from c. AD 1400-1600.
