‘Kerosang’ are decorative sets of brooches used as fasteners on blouses or the ‘kebaya’. They are commonly found in a set of three, although sets of up to five does exist. These are possibly made of gold and the decorative motifs are floral in nature. This gilt silver button set has an embossed design with a star motif at the centre.
