Description: | Two identical circular lead alloy dress accessories. There is a circular recess slightly offset to the centre on one side, within which are two circular holes that pierce thorugh the disc. Compare database record number SWYOR-8F9011 which notes that:"Despite looking like a button, it is believed that these objects were weights for holding down curtains or skirt hems. Examples can be seen on page 83 of Bailey's (2004) Buttons and Fasteners. They seems to date from the eighteenth or early nineteenth century."
