Brass Doublet Button

Brass Doublet Button

A doublet is a close fitting man's jacket, which is fastened by rows of small round buttons. This copper alloy button is made of two pieces of stamped sheet metal soldered together, with a separate shank that passes through a central hole in back. Scores of doublet buttons have been found during the course of excavation.
