In response to the scholar debate regarding the way in which Great Moravian spherical buttons were used, this study presents an overview of specimens whose use may be inferred on the basis of the archaeological context. The topic is demonstrated using two case studies, where the function of the spherical buttons may be definitively proved thanks to preserved textile fibres. Textile and metal material characterization was performed by EDS analysis on SEM. The case studies are accompanied by analogous finds known from the literature. In conclusion, we propose possible interpretations of the functional range of spherical hollow buttons.
