Is it just my imagination, or does that not look 'exactly' like the item worn by Janet Jackson at the Superbowl?

frankly it looks like a post civil war era flower button

OK...first of all i didn't see Janet Jackson at the Superbowl, i only heard about it and a button was never mentioned....and what is a post civil war flower button the back of the button doesn't say anything, i can not see any makers mark, nothing......i will attach a picture, i only have a scanner so it won't be very good. thanks for all of the feedback......lazysj

post means after the war and flower button means any design thats decrotive and used for everyday dress items of the period
