Curator's report:
Description: flat disc like button, cast with decoration moulded in relief. On the front a sun's face within twelve rays. On the back in relief maker's mark 'IL' on either side of the missing shank.

Discussion: Compare an identical button found on the river Thames foreshore, London. See Brian Read 'Metal buttons c900-1700', Langport 2010, No 480. These are dated possibly late 17th or early 18th century.
