Button Mold

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of a Button Mold by unknown artist. Four black objects are positioned in two rows on a white background. The top row contains two objects on the left that are roughly the same shape. They are dark colored, long, thin and tapered with a horizontal bar extending from their middle. They are next to two smaller, similar but more spoon-like objects with no horizontal bars. The bottom row contains a single object. It has two prongs with a round central piece and a white handled end. The image is a still life of objects photographed against a plain background.
