There is a small circular attachment loop at its apex which has been partially broken away by an old break. There are eight damaged moulded tabs fitted around the rim which would have been used to secure a setting. The silver button is decorated with three parallel incised lines running around the circumference.The button measures 14.3mm in diameter, and has a height of 7.9mm. It weighs 0.76 grams.This object is very similar to two silver buttons found in Essex, ESS-CAABF3. These were declared not Treasure (2007 T540) as objects of uncertain date and function they did not fall within the Treasure Act 1996. This object has therefore not been reported as Treasure.
