Japanese geisha button

[Bible]

Anyone know anything about this button it has a wierd construction and some japanese writting i think. would be at least 100 years old and looks like it used to have some gold gilt

 

[snaps]

was it dug? very cool

 

[Bible]

Yes was dug not far from a segregated part of camp maybe 100 yards away from thier tents looks heavily worn too

 

[Plug N Play]

Hat pins, hair pins, stick pins, brooches, earrings, buttons ... seems to be a wide
variety of jewelry made with this design.

 

[Discrimination Dave]

Not Japanese.
the writing is some kind of mimicry. Not authentic writing of any type. American costume jewelry.
