Button
|
I find buttons to be functional art. Historically they have been used as ornaments, seals, in games and as a decoration in fashion to display the wealth and status of an individual. We use them mostly as a fastener or closure. This button you have found today once belonged to someone special to you and it now acts as a symbol for belonging and connection to your ancestors and the wealth of knowledge they have passed to you. What does it look like? Is it big or small? Does it have any images etched in it? Where will you keep/attach this button to carry it with you?
