The front appears to be a bulldog with a bone in its mouth.
Any help is much appreciated!

Thank you Kathy. That is pretty much what I was able to find out as well before posting. Hopefully someone may know what type of garment it was on?

Thank you DC Matt. Any idea on what type of garment this would have been on?

Picture buttons were extremely popular in the Victorian era. Animal buttons were plentiful and, as you can imagine, dogs were high on the list. You don't mention size but yours looks small like a man's cuff button.

Thank you again. It is approximately 3/4" in diameter.
