In plan the button is circular and in profile it is slightly domed. The outer surface is decorated by a series of small annular rings stamped to form a central flower bordered by a scalloped edge. The centre of the flower has stamped low-relief pellets. On this surface there are traces of gilding. The reverse of the button is hollow with an integral lug with a hole on the centre.The surface of the object has red copper corrosion. The button weighs 7.38g and measures 26.5mm in diameter and 9.5mm thick. |
