Maybe it's my imagination but does this old metal button look like it has arrows, sun rays or feathers to you? The design pop up while I was cleaning it up. The appear to be etched on the top. I found it among some civil war era uniform buttons. Could it possibly be native Indian related? I'd love your input. Thx

Your eyes are not deceiving you. There are definitely rays and arrows there.
I can not be certain on the age of it due to there being no back mark information.
Do a scratch test on the back of that button. If the back is made out of iron/steel like I suspect then it is no older that 1900 or there abouts. Prior to the early 1900s all buttons were brass, front and back.Bruce
In life there are losers and finders. Which one are you?
