Colonial Carved Pearl Button

[Bharpring]

Can someone ID this button? Is it a colonial carved pearl button? How should I preserve it?

The XP Deus HF round coil hit this at frequency 28kHz. I don't think that there is much metal in this button.

Great recovery. Gently wash it. You can then coat it with thinned down Elmer's glue. Thin the Elmer's with water and let dry. You may need a few coats.

Awesome, I need to do it tonight. This thing is fragile. Thanks

The glue can be 50-50 if need be.

Coated with 50-50 elmers/water. Turned out fantastic. Thanks Smokey!
