Copper alloy button. Cast hollow composite discoid button. The front bears motifs reflecting rural and agricultural interests: to the left a hart kneels before an indistinct feature and a row of pine trees, and to the right a labourer holds a scythe in a grassy meadow. Indistinct maker's details are stamped on the back. A wire loop is lost, leaving a void where it formerly lay. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1850-1900.
