Love the simplicity of this button….the very fine etched lines with a burin….feels like you want to make a print out of it ….

Simple but quite precise in the way it has been engraved. It shows that the artisan who had made it had an artistic imagination... Very good piece

Angelo, this is so delicately done... I've just learned that a burin is a very fine and sharp engraving tool ... indicating that this would have been engraved by hand ... so accurately. What skill.

A great piece, Angelo. Simple and yet very sophisticated. May I ask how large it is?

Thank you Angelo - quite a button! I really love it.

I just bought a Russian/Caucasian niello button, but its very small by comparison, only 1 1/3" :))
