Record ID: NLM-20BD35
Object type: DISC
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy disc. A small cast flat-sided disc, probably cut to its final shape, with a central drilled hole of diameter 2mm, surrounded on one side by four symmetrically disposed blind pits of slightly smaller diameter. This might have functioned as a mount, or perhaps as the separate head of a pin. A range of flat mounts is reported from medieval London and many remain attached to belts, though the ‘decorative’ scheme is odd here and the central fixing point excessively wide, and few medieval mounts are as chunky and simple in form (Egan and Pritchard 1991). The range of…

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Cheshire East
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two copper-alloy post-medieval buttons of different sizes, silvered on their fronts. Both are in similar condition, with their silvered surfaces delaminating from the main body. These bodies are corroded, producing the green corrosion products typical of copper alloys. The attachment loops on the reverses of both are broken off.
These objects are recorded together as they came from the same hole, possibly from a garment that decayed in situ.
Larger button:- 23.5 mm diameter, 0.4mm depth, 2.25 g
Smaller button:- 14.5mm diameter, 1mm depth, 1.10g

Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper alloy mount of Iron Age date. The mount is trilobate with a hollow central lobe flanked by two slightly smaller, off centre, hollow lobes. A worn projection to the edge of the central lobe, midway between the two existing outer lobes, suggests the presence of a further lobe which has since been lost to an old, worn break. A worn projection is also present at the middle of the upper surface of the centre lobe though its purpose is likely to be decorative rather than functional. To the reverse of the mount small knops project from the concave centre of each lobe.

Incomplete, solid, die-cut copper alloy two-piece livery button embossed with the head of a unicorn which locally is the crest of the Bassets, and was worn on the uniform of coachmen and the like.
