A black button made from glass, of probable Post medieval date, about AD 1500 - 1700. It is plano-convex in shape, more convex on the front than the reverse, and there is a chip missing from one side. The spiral marks on the back and, less obviously, on the front show that it was made by winding molten glass into a blob.

SF6940 is a very similar button in pale yellow glass. The record notes that "Glass …

A blue glass intaglio, or more properly, a cameo, since the design is in relief. It dates from the late Post Medieval to Modern period. This decorative item was designed to be inserted into a ring or brooch or other personal ornament. The oval setting is made of bright blue translucent glass and has been made in a mould. This is evident from the concave reverse and the rounded edges to the design. It is decorated with a beetle, perhaps a scarab depicted from above sitting on a leaf. The background has fine horizontal lines across the field - again indicative of a fairly recent da…
