Cast gilt copper alloy two-piece button, circular in plan and flat in section, with a circular disc surrounded by moulded openwork decoration in the form of fourteen domed annulets, each with a border of tiny pellets. The back of the button retains its circular loop which has been soldered on as a separate piece.
