Set of 5 Genuine Horn Buttons with Geometric Motif

Natural Material and Timeless Design

These buttons are crafted from genuine horn, a material mankind has used for fasteners and jewelry since prehistoric times. The light shade with its subtle grain visually resembles bone, while the engraved geometric pattern (reminiscent of a sunburst or wagon wheel) is highlighted in dark contrast. This type of decoration is historically very universal – fitting perfectly for Iron Age costumes, the Early Middle Ages, or even Fantasy stylings like rangers or mages.

Versatile Usage

With a diameter of approx. 1.8 cm (0.7 inches), these are the ideal size for fastening:

• Tunics and shirts (at the neckline or cuffs).
• Pouches, purses, and bags.
• Fabric or leather bracers (as seen in the photos).
• Ladies' dresses (surcotes, kirtles).

The buttons feature two holes, allowing them to be securely sewn on with strong linen thread or a thin leather thong. Thanks to their flat profile, they fasten easily and do not get in the way under other layers of clothing or armour.

Important Care Instructions

Horn is a natural organic material that requires specific care to last for years:

• Do not machine wash: Hot water and harsh detergents can irreversibly damage the horn, drying it out and causing it to crack. We recommend hand washing garments with these buttons in lukewarm water only.
• Hydration: Occasionally, wipe the buttons with a cloth and a little natural oil (e.g., olive oil or leather oil). This restores their shine and prevents brittleness.
• Natural Variation: As this is a natural product, the colour and grain of the material may vary from piece to piece. This is not a defect, but proof of the material's authenticity.
