A single silver button of woven straps with a ball at its center, this is among the smallest of the workshop's objects, the interlaced bands translating a sense of weave into metal around a central bead. The woven strap is a motif that recurs across Spratling's work, here reduced to the scale of a fastening.
The button belongs to the workshop's First Design Period. With no further period documentation recorded, it stands as a modest, characteristic example of the small hand-wrought silver fittings the taller produced alongside its larger jewelry.
