Copper alloy buttons. Seven flat plain discoid buttons of diameters between 27mm and 14.8mm, one hollow and the others the more usual solid variety, with separate loops or the scars from their loss on the backs; in seven cases the loop was attached to a low boss. The other button retains traces of a maker's back stamp on its flat back. A grey tint may arise from white metal plating in the case of the largest button, or from tin in the metal mixes with two others. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1800-1900. Combined Weight: 28.57gms
