Title
A complete Post Medieval cast one-piece lead alloy button
Description
English: A complete Post Medieval cast one-piece lead alloy button (16th century). The button is discoidal with a solid, steeply-convex front and flat back. The surface is undecorated. On the reverse is an integral, circular-sectioned looped shank. One end of the shank has broken at the base of the loop so the shank has been flattened somewhat and its end pushed outwards. Read (2005) illustrates a similar example, p. 60 ref. 228 and dates it to the 16th century. Dimensions: length: 22.5mm; width: 19.2mm; thickness: 2.9mm; weight: 3.28g.
