The medieval button measures 1.5 x 1.5 cm.
The button came into fashion quite late in Europe and was hardly used before the middle of the 13th century. In the Middle Ages, the button was often spherical in shape and often made of pewter. It was not until the beginning of the 14th century that fabric-covered buttons appeared.
In the Middle Ages, buttons with small eyelets were particularly common. The button with two or four holes that we are familiar with today was hardly common before the 16th century. Unlike today, the button in the Middle Ages was usually attached directly to the edge of the garment. There was then an eyelet on the opposite side. Thus, a thin gap always remained between the two parts of the garment.
