Description: | Post-Medieval silver openwork filigree button. The button is formed of two hemispheres of openwork filigree soldered together. The hemispheres are made of eight plain wire loops, each with a coil of twisted wire inside. The upper hemisphere is domed and has a plain circular pellet in the centre, and a circle of twisted wire runs between this and the edge of the button. The reverse is also slightly convex, and has a rounded shank soldered in the centre. The button is complete but has been bent and squashed, probably as a result of ploughing. The surface is tarnished unevenly, more so on the upper than the reverse.
