Description: | A sheet silver incomplete button of probable 18th century date. The circular object has a ropework border and a steeply domed centre. The apex is decorated with a raised ring round a projecting centre. A small circular hole has been punched from the front in two places opposite each other on the edge of the dome. The object is probably the front of a two piece button, and the punched holes are likely to be a later repair or alteration. The edge of the object is missing in some places. Compare buttons on page 80 of Bailey's "Buttons and Fasteners".
