"429796","LON-CDB855","PAS4D5CDB85001911","BUTTON","","","","","","15.96","11.59","1","","","POST MEDIEVAL","1550","1700","A Post Medieval copper alloy button dating late 16th - 17th century.  This is a spherical, openwork button; each half is shaped like a flower with a central pellet and six oval petals; there are gaps between each petal.  The wire shank has been attached to one of the petals slightly off-centre from the mid-line of the button.  There are traces of a possible white metal coating.  The button has been slightly squashed, distorting its overall shape.


Read (2005:91) illustrates two examples which have a similar form but these examples are constructed from silver filigree.


Dimensions: thickness: 15.96mm; diameter: 11.59mm; weight: 1.90g.
