Title |
A copper-alloy post-Medieval hexagonal button. |
||
Description |
English: A copper-alloy, post-Medieval, hexagonal button with a flat top, faceted sides becoming vertical at the base. The top is decorated with a central flower motif of four small circles in a quatrefoil within a plain ring with the design beyond this worn away on the rest of the flat section. From the central motif 6 pairs of grooved line flank each side of the facets. There are similar lines set at right angels around the flat section. In the cell remaining in the centre of each facet is a scrolled motif of stamped Cs and annulets. The button has traces of white metal coating in one of these sections within the incised decoration. The reverse is concave with a stub of an integral loop in the centre broken at the same point as the begining of the pierced hole. The loop had a drilled hole through it and now ends in a worn break.
The button is 23.2mm by 24.2mm wide, 1.9mm thick and weighs 9.53 grams. Similar buttons can be found illustrated in Read (2005, 36 & 46), who suggests they may have been used as cloak fasteners and date from the middle to the late 17th century. A very similar button (SOM-7ABDA7), with less wear, has been recorded on the database. |
