Description: | A cast lead-alloy button of Post-Medieval date, c. 1500-1700.The button has a discoidal head, D-shaped in section with a cast-integral square-shaped loop projecting from the centre of the reverse. The head is decorated in relief, bearing a central boss, circumstribed by two circles. Around this is a pseudo-inscription, written retrograde in poorly formed letters: REAMPMWT(this latter letter upsdie-down).A second button of the same shape and inscription, and cast from the same mould has been found nearby (NCL-EF9EC3), though the lead-alloy is slightly different and was probably cast as a different batch.
