Description: | A post medieval lead alloy button dating AD1500-1700. This button has been moulded and there is a casting seam midway along the back surface. It is disc-shaped and the front surface is decorated with 8 circular lobes around the edge. Then there is a inner circle of ring and dot motifs and in the centre there is another circular motif, the same as the lobes. These lobes are dished and may have originally been infilled with another material but there is no surviving evidence of this. On the back surface there is the integrally cast shank for attachment. There is some distortion to the shape of this button that is probably post depositional damage.Dimensions: thickness: 6.50mm; diameter: 17.22mm; weight: 2.46g.
