Comments:”C.001. Square stone button of serpentine. Carved on the obverse, a 4-petalled flower within a simple fillet border. Reverse, formed into a very flat truncated 4-sided pyramid, near apex of which two holes are drilled from opposite sides in a slightly downward direction meeting on the line of the axis, and giving a means by which the button may be sewn to anything. 3/4 inch square. Thickness 1/4 inch. See Plate LI.” [Stein, Ancient Khotan (1907), p. 235]
