Description: | A complete copper alloy button of Post-Medieval to Modern date (AD 1700-1800). The object is a circular flat disk with the remains of a wire loop on the reverse which is now formed of two projecting spurs due to an old and abraded break. The border features two concentric circles, within which is an incised zigzag linear decoration, the centre is devoid of decoration.The metal is silver in colour; this is most likely due to the high zinc content. The colouration and decoration indicates this is most likely a "Tombac" button of the 18th- early 19th century.Diameter: 21.46mm, Thickness: 1.26mm, Length (of button and wire): 7.41mm, Weight: 4.0g.Bailey, P 40-56.
