Flat circular lead weight. It has two central circular perforations and is slightly bent out of shape. Despite looking like a button, these weights were and are used to weigh down the hems of curtains, and perhaps also skirts. They seem to come into use perhaps in the eighteenth century, and are still available to buy today.
