buttons

A button is a fastener that joins two pieces of fabric together by slipping through a loop or by sliding through a buttonhole.
In modern clothing and fashion design, buttons are commonly made of plastic but also may be made of metal, wood, or seashell. Buttons can also be used on containers such as wallets and bags. Buttons may be sewn onto garments and similar items exclusively for purposes of ornamentation. In the applied arts and craft, a button can be an example of folk art, studio craft, or even a miniature work of art. In archaeology, a button can be a significant artifact.
Koumpounophobia is the fear of buttons anecdotely linked to reports of smelling and dirty buttons.

    Close coupled cistern with oval buttons.

    How do I get the cistern lid off as we have a leak in the innards and the water is running constantly. For round buttons the secret seems to be to rotate the sliver ring but this one is oval. Thanks in advance.
