String of Vintage Tribal Buttons - Kuchi Dome Buttons for Belly Dance - Beading

String of dome style buttons on fabric with beaded accents. Dome-shaped stud-type buttons have a loop or shank on the back for stringing or attaching and are still on original fabric. All are about the same size and are a silvery color. Sturdy dome buttons are in great condition. Buttons, like other tribal embellishments are used to adorn almost anything you can imagine, from clothing, personal goods and accessories, to household items and animal trappings. Tribal buttons can be sewn on individually if you just need one or two, or can be sewn in groups or stung on braided cord and sewn into designs or patterns. Vintage buttons have been taken from these old items and repurposed, maybe many times, in their tribal lifetimes.

A NOTE ON THE CONDITION OF TRIBAL ITEMS: Our tribal components are used pieces from from faraway lands.   As used pieces they may be tarnished or otherwise reflect their prior lives as treasured tribal pieces.   Please know that we strive to maintain the tribal allure of our items and therefore we do not clean or repair these pieces in any way.  This not only maintains the old, tribal look of each piece that our belly dance customers seek, but also preserves the value of a piece that cleaning, and especially polishing, would destroy.

We do our best to describe any flaws that may be present, and we encourage you to read the full description and look at all photos closely to judge the condition of the item for yourself and know exactly what you are ordering.  If you have questions about the condition of any item, please ask!
