Title
Bronze Age button
Description
English: A copper-alloy object, possibly a button dating to the Middle to Late Bronze Age. The object is circular in shape and hemispherical in section. The upper surface is decorated with two concentric, ring-shaped cells, which are filled with remnants of a white substance. At the centre, there is a raised spherical knop. The underside of the object is roughly finished, plain, with a slight circumferential rib. A small hemispherical-section loop extends from the underside with a 2mm gap. The object measures 22mm in diameter and a maximum of 8mm in thickness.

A similar example is recorded by the PAS as: WMID-498A82.
