There is a plain border, the back is flat, and in the centre of the back there is a square simple looped shank with a break to one side..The button back and loop are corroded. It is 25.7mm in circumferedce; 4.6m in thickness excluding the loop; 14.8mm including the loop; and weighs 11.76gms.Buttons similar in style, although not identical in design, are illustrated in Read (2005:61) e.g. no.211 which has a similar shaped loop. He dates it to the 16th to the early 17th century AD.
