Pewter button round small

After copper, tin also became known in the Copper Age ca. 3500 - 3000 BC. In antiquity probably very popular, pewter inlays were described as decorative ornaments, for example, on chariots - also reported, among other things, tinned copper coins and pewter mirrors and ampoules. In the Middle Ages, pewter was only used deliberately for the production of certain pieces. Pewter badges, so-called pilgrim badges, were worn on the chest, and the badges differed depending on the region. In the High Middle Ages, eating utensils made of wood and clay were replaced by the sturdier pewter. In larger cities, pewter began to be processed by hand in pewter foundries. Even though bronze was replaced by iron in the Iron Age, pewter regained importance in the 19th century with the industrial production of tinplate.

This pewter button is worked in a round shape, which gives it a smooth surface and an elegant look. The opening allows the button to be sewn to clothing. Besides the actual use as a button, you can also use it for various projects and crafts.
