Description: | A cast lead, tin or pewter button of probable Post Medieval date, about AD 1500 - 1700, though possibly a bit earlier. The circular disc carries a moulded design consisting of two concentric raised circles, separated by wide grooves, surrounding a central pellet. The reverse carries a casting seam and the remains of an integrally cast suspension loop, now broken. Traces of a white metal coating remain on the front of the button. It otherwise displays a light grey patina. It is 17.9mm in diameter and 5.1mm thick. It weighs 4.24gm. Compare LON-B2A86F which is through to be Post Medieval, and PUBLIC-6DA0F3.
