Jon Singer's button would be twice as nifty as mine, I bet. And he'd tell you who made it, what the chemical composition of the materials were and who mined or otherwise gathered them, what system of symbolism the artist was working in, if any, and the complete cultural and economic history of the region. Plus what they eat. Of which he would offer samples that he just happened to be carrying.
Mine would probably be neat to look at and touch, and possibly have other properties.
buttons? cool!
