Description: | Post-medieval copper alloy button with an incomplete integral drilled loop and a sub-rectangular head of plano-convex section. Moulded elaborate quatrefoil decoration is now rather worn. Head 14.5mm x 6.4mm, 3.5mm thick. Cf. Norfolk examples, from Barton Bendish (HER 23947, NMS-D42ED3), Docking (HER 24951, NMS-3E3765), East Walton (HER 29273), Foulsham (HER 41224), Fransham (HER 25024), Guestwick (HER 3113), Holme Hale (HER 44072), Howe (HER 13850), Langley with Hardley (HER 31397), Oxborough (HER 53719), Postwick with Witton (HER 29658), Snetterton (HER 51275, NMS-7C38D7; HER 56903, NMS-13CE41), West Acre (HER 32619), and an undecorated one from Barton Bendish (HER 23934). A very similar button from the Thames foreshore was thought to be from a 15th-century context (Read 2005, 14, no.41). Perhaps a date in 16th or early 17th century is more likely. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
