Title
A complete Post Medieval cast lead alloy and tin button, 1600-1650 AD
Description
English: A complete Post Medieval cast lead alloy and tin button, 1600-1650 AD. The functional button has been cast with a solid head and an integral loop. The button is circular in plan and domed with a flat back. At the centre point of the top of the dome shape is a small projecting pointed knop. On the reverse of the button the flat surface has a rough texture and is undecorated. From the centre of the reverse the integral attachment loop projects; the section of the loop is irregular. Egan (2005) illustrates a number of similar buttons, p. 50 refs. 208-210. All of these are from Thames foreshore deposits and are securely dated to 1630-1650 AD.

Dimensions: thickness: 7.95mm; diameter: 14.50mm; weight: 6.24g.
