The button measures 1.5 x 0.8 cm, the eyelet is 2 mm wide.
The button appears quite late in Europe and was transmitted by oriental influences via the trade routes of the long-distance travellers across the Mediterranean to the north, but is still hardly widespread before the middle of the 13th century.
In the Middle Ages the button was often spherical, but flat buttons were also common. However, medieval buttons did not have holes in them, but had a small eyelet on the back to sew the button to the garment.
Buttons in the Middle Ages were frequently made of pewter, but there is also evidence of buttons made of brass, bronze and even silver. Unlike today, in the Middle Ages the button was attached to the hem of the garment and closed with an eyelet on the opposite side.
