Knoop van geelkoper met vier lelies c. 1590 - 1596

This small, round brass button, created between 1590-1596 by an unknown artist, is an example of a decorative object from the Dutch Golden Age. The button features a design of four lilies, a symbol often associated with purity and royalty. This piece is a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail during that era, even in everyday objects. Now preserved in the Rijksmuseum, the button is a fascinating glimpse into the historical fashion and decorative arts of the Netherlands.
