Great metallic and vibrant, colorful fibers wound to create this beautiful button. I am unsure of the age.
"Death Head" buttons are said to be a decorative type of button that was widely used on apparel in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Made by wrapping thread or yarn in a pattern around forms, "Death Head" buttons were a cottage industry and an article of commerce in Colonial times. Made in different patterns and color combinations, the basic "Death Head" button exhibits a four segment pattern on its face.
Size: NBS Medium 1-1/8”
