Description: | Treasure ref. 2015 T655: half of a hollow silver button made from sheet silver in the shape of an acorn with one half an integral loop at the base and a terminal knop. It would, originally, have been soldered together with the missing half to form a complete acorn. The lower half of the upper surface of the acorn has been decorated with a stippled pattern to give a natural appearance to the button.Buttons of this type are post-medieval, though difficult to date acurately and may be as early as the 16th century.See DOR-4915E3 for a complete example.Due to its age and precious metal content, this object qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
