Description: | Copper alloy button. Large flat discoid button with a small boss set centrally on the back for the loop [lost]. The front bears a four lobed or petalled device with three rays between each lobe; the lobes were perhaps rubbed down as hollows with mechanical aid though the intervening rays were probably incised by hand. The grey tint may arise from tin in the metal mix. The finder kindly identifies this as a 'Dandy button'. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1750-1850.Diameter: 34.7mm, Thickness (clear of boss): 1.1mm, Weight: 9.04gms.
