| Description |
English: A post medieval copper alloy button or cuff link with dark coloured glass inlay, dating to the 17th century. The object is formed of a plano-convex hollow cast backplate with integral loop, containing a faceted dark coloured glass inlay. The object is then encircled by a circular plate collar. The collar has six circular perforations with moulded beading around the edges, creating a flower design with the inset glass. The glass has been worn so that it almost seems hemi-spherical. There is linear moulding in between the perforations. There is some blue-green discolouration but the object is otherwise in good condition.
There are no exact parallels known for this object, though a cufflink of similar style can be found in Read (2005, no. 504). A button of similar style can be found on the PAS database: LANCUM-94FC30. Dimensions: diameter: 15.15 mm; height: 8.13 mm; weight: 1.24g. Reference: Read, B. 2005. Metal Buttons C.900BC - AD1700. Portcullis Publishing, Langport, Somerset. |
