Description: | The head of a tinned (white metal coated) copper alloy button of probable Post Medieval date (1600-1700 AD). The button consists of a circular, hollow (?) domed (D sectioned) head; the separate cast back plate with integral shank is lost. The domed head of the button is undecorated and has eroded to a mid purple green colour. In places remains a mid-grey silver coloured applied decorative surface. A similar undecorated, button has been dated by Gordon Bailey 17th century, however, the style persists into the 18th century (Bailey 2004: pp 32-33, fig 8.10).The button head measures 9.4mm diameter and is 8.8mm thick: the button weighs 1.4 grams.
