A copper-alloy button of 18th century date. The button has a diameter of 22.99mm, is 2.00mm thick and weighs 3.43g. The upper surface is highly decorated with a punched scrolling foliate design. The button might have originally been slightly domed and hollow as the upper surface of the button curves over and overlaps the lower, plain, surface of the button by a maximum of 2.22mm. Other evidence that would suggest that the button may have been squashed is that the loop has been folded over and now lies flat along the reverse side of the button. As the loop currently lies it is oval in …
