Description: | A copper alloy circular stud with an iron shank dating from the Post Medieval period, about AD 1600 - 1800. The stud, which may be a dress fitting or furnitue fitting, is a circular disc of copper alloy. The convex upper face is decorated with a central moulded star of six points, surrounded by a lozenge shaped frame, and bordered by a two lines across the face of the button. The reverse is probably concave but filled with corrosion. An iron shaft projects from the reverse has a surviving length of 11.4mm. The decorative button head has bent sideways so it is in the same plane as the shank instead of capping it. The head is 9.3mm diameter. The stud overall is 15.3mm long, 9.3mm wide and 5.4mm thick. 0.92g.
