A button that matches nothing
One dress has five matching buttons and a sixth that differs — and not for want of a match.
The sixth button sits in the middle of the row, not at the end. Had it been added because a matching one was missing, the lower position — less visible — would have been the logical choice.
The museum draws no conclusion. The label states only what can be seen: a button of a different type, sewn with the same thread as the others, therefore at the same time.
