Description: | A post-Medieval copper-alloy button.The head of the button consists of a thin disc, at the centre of the slightly convex upper surface of which is a moulded ring with recessed pellet at its centre and two concentric grooves surrounding. The integrally cast loop forms a right angle with the flat back of the head and is located off-centre. The straight sides of the loop converge towards the rounded distal end, where there is a circular-sectioned aperture.Diameter of head: 21.9mm; length: 14.7mm; weight: 9.79g.Similar buttons are illustrated by Gordon Bailey in his 'Buttons and fasteners' book, for which he suggests a 17th century date (Bailey 2004: 37).
