Double "boten-bragou" button made of tin (Nat 1220), found aboard the Dauphine (1704). It was used to close hauts-de-chausses, the billowing pants worn by sailors aboard ship. Similarly-shaped buttons made of wood are in the collections of the Musée départemental breton (Quimper). Those were used to fasten bragou braz, the wide trousers that are part of traditional Brittany costumes.
