Description: | Post Medieval copper alloy mount or stud or possibly button. The head is roughly circular with a smooth, slightly domed top. Around the edge there is a simple decorative incised line forming eight cresents, the areas between the scescents and the edge slope down. The edge is worn and rough in places. The back is concave and from the center projects the remains of a round rivet or stem with a slight casting line to one side. It is 17.0mm in diameter, 2.4mm thick excluding the spike, 4.2mm including it and weighs 2.80 grams.Read (2005:67) illustrates buttons with similar edge designs but additional ring and pellets in the cnetre and concave backs, no.263 and 264, which he dates to the 17th century. Similar designs are also popular on 18th cnetury cufflinks.
