Enema buttons, also known as syringe buttons, were popular in the 17th and 18th centuries, particularly in France. Enemas were a widely used medical treatment for various ailments, and the practice became associated with the French aristocracy, especially King Louis XIV, who was known for his frequent enemas.
These buttons often depicted satirical or humorous scenes related to enemas, reflecting the public's fascination and sometimes skepticism towards the procedure. They were made from materials like brass, copper, or silver and were worn as decorative items or used as cuff buttons. The buttons served as both a fashion statement and a conversation piece, reflecting the medical practices and social attitudes of the time. Enema buttons are now considered collectible items, offering a glimpse into the history of medicine and popular culture.
