Description: | A complete copper alloy post-medieval or modern openwork button. It has a globular head, each face of which is pierced with six small triangular holes radiating outward from the centre. In the centre of the outer face is a small raised pellet and a long shank with a circular hole through its end extends from the centre of the reverse. The surface of the metal is heavily corroded and it has a brown and green patina.Despite their similarity to Tudor openwork dress fittings this type of button appears to be somewhat later in date. For example, a very similar example was found during excavations in Norwich in a context dated AD 1700-1885 (Margeson 1993, 21, fig.11, no.102)Length: 15.9mm, diameter: 5.7mm, weight: 1.79g | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
