SCRIMSHAW IVORY BUTTON

This button in my eyes is really beautiful. It is the most expensive button I have ever bought and it has just found my home in the last couple of days.

The Oriental lady with her parasol are placed nicely just off centre.  The etching is filled with a few delicate colours, just enough to bring it alive.  It is 3  1/2 cm in diameter, so a nice size.  I am so excited to have it.  ( Perhaps I am on bread and dripping for a few weeks now!!! )
