Yes Victorian era dress button is was I'm thinking. Maybe a floral design??

It's the ever-popular person dancing a jig in front of a rainbow while straddling a giant asparagus lol

It's a leprechaun button... Just in time for St. Patrick's Day! Go back and search for the pot of gold! :pot-of-gold:

Its a Japanese theme, popular in the 1880s-1920s

To me it looks like a leprechaun with a shillelagh in one hand and a thistle in the other, dancing a jig in front of a rainbow.

I see what you mean but if it were, a thistle would make no sense, so would need to be something else.

I still think its a Japanese farming scene, with tool & crop. I agree he is dancing home.....
