A cast lead-alloy button, probably dating from the Late Medieval period.
The upper surface of the plano-convex head of the button is decorated in high relief. A boss marks the centre of the head; this is surrounded by six smaller, equally-spaced bosses.

A small portion of the button has been lost.
