Looks like the front is actually a glazed and fired ceramic, or some similar earthen ware.
Very cool find!!

Sweet! Is that glazed ceramic? Enamel? If it's ceramic how is it attached?

I really dont know what it is or how they attached scared to mess with it much afraid it will fall apart but heres some pottery that came from there too. In the context of where
it was found there in nothing modern there it came from the heart of the site so age to me is not really a question nothing has come from this site past the early early 1800s. t
the 2 little bottles did not come from there. Thanks guys for all the post and if anyone has found one similar please post pics.

As far as buttons go, not many are glazed ceramic and metal. It's an earlier button with the drilled shank and one to be wicked proud of finding. I also agree with PA Steve - cufflink!

Cufflink kind of makes sense... Whatever it is, it's very unique.
Well played CD!
