Description: | Composite silver button. Circular, flat back-plate with two widely spaced holes, perhaps blow holes or for the (missing) inserted wire loop. There is no other trace of a loop or shank on the reverse. The front-plate has a central dome (now squashed) surrounded by a beaded border, moulding (now concave but perhaps originally convex) and an outer beaded border around the edge. Similar to an example from Oxfordshire decorated with the bust of Charles II (BERK-4B7D02) which also has a beaded border. See also a copper alloy and iron example from a 15th century context in Read (2005, 27, no.89). Probably 17th century.Diameter 19.5mm. Weight 1.4g.
