‘Silvery’ traditional buttonsfrom the north central Hungarian town of Gyöngyös: This report divulges that there exists a master craftsman named Kovács Levente who still makes these metal buttons. We also find out that connected to the Roman Catholic Church were metal craftsmen who made not only the religious objects, but also these metal buttons. The Koncz family of Gyöngyös had inherited and preserved several old traditional costume pieces - coats bearing these buttons. These pieces of clothing have since been documented, restored and placed in the collection of Gyöngyös’ Mátra Museum. The researchers hope to inspire appreciation for these pieces of clothing and their special traditional buttons. Report by Palócs Donát Endre (of Gyöngyös) and Barsi Csaba.
