Title
A Post Medieval incomplete copper alloy object probably a button
Description
English: An incomplete post medieval copper alloy button probably dating 17th century. This object is domed with a hollow reverse. There is a socket on the inside of the dome, presumably for the attachment of a separate shank. It is decorated with a pattern on the external surface which can also be seen in negative on the internal surface. The pattern comprises a central pellet with curved radiating lines, the space between this lines has been infilled with transverse lines. The edge is scalloped creating the appearance of a five petalled flower.

A similar example can be found in Read (2005, no. 416) and dates to the 17th century.

Dimensions: thickness: 3.45mm; diameter: 11.81mm; weight: 0.65g.
