Archangel Michael, French, Antique, Pictorial Button

This antique, French button of metal features the Archangel Michael with sword and trumpet. Although it might appear that this is the Archangel Gabriel, it is only Michael who wears armor, and it is written that he descended "with the sound of a trumpet."

This rare button measures 1.5" across. The japanned back has scratches commensurate with age and wear. Archangel Michael and his surrounding ornamentation on the front of the button are a lightweight metal.

Thank you for looking.
