Set of buttons from the tunic of General Kiss Ernő is held by Arad Museum Complex. Museum description: Eight conical buttons, cut in opal. The metal fastening system of the button pierces the body of the stone and ends in a flower-shaped metal decoration, with petals enamelled in white and carmine, gathered by a small stud with a turquoise cabochon. According to the entry in the inventory register, the buttons were cut from General Kiss Ernő's tunic when he was taken to execution and given to the jailer Urtika. The museum record gives measurements L: 2 cm; D: 1.5 cm. These details come from the holding museum's own record; how far this object represents a wider collectible type has not yet been independently verified.
