Final Bronze-Early Iron Age, ca. 12th-8th centuries BC.

The bronze button, conical in shape, comes from the village-sanctuary Abini in Teti. Inside is a small bar with a circular cross-section for attachment. The frequent finding of objects of this type in shrines testifies to votive deposition of garments. The find is dated to the Final Bronze-Early Iron Age (12th-8th centuries B.C.).
