Description: | An incomplete composite two-piece cast copper-alloy button of post-Medieval date (1600-1700 AD). The fragment is discoidal and would have formed the front of a biconvex hollow button, of probable integral shank type. The convex front is decorated with a quatrefoil formed by small stamped circles (each leaf being heart-shaped) and is enclosed by two circular grooves forming the rim, which shows traces of iron corrosion. The reverse is very corroded. The button measures 15.9mm in diameter and 3.75mm in height, weighing 1.63g. A similar button is illustrated by Read (2010:95, ref: 380), which he dates to the 17th century.
