The button appeared quite late in Europe and was transmitted by oriental influences via the old trade routes of the long-distance travellers across the Mediterranean to the north, but was hardly widespread before the middle of the 13th century.
The medieval button frequently had a spherical shape, but flat buttons and flower motifs were also common, although these did not have holes as they do today, but had a small eyelet on the back with which to sew the button to the garment.
Medieval buttons were often made of pewter, but there is also evidence of medieval buttons made of brass, bronze and even silver. The medieval button was usually attached to the hem of the garment and closed on the opposite side with a small eyelet made of fabric.
