The black mourning kontusz button is a unique element of the Polish national costume, worn during periods of national mourning, particularly during the partitions of Poland, when it served as a symbol of resistance against oppression and remembrance of the lost independence. It became especially symbolic during and after the January Uprising (1863–1864), when the national dress transformed into a manifestation of patriotism.Unlike the traditional, elaborately decorated silver or gold kontusz buttons, the black mourning button was made from less expensive materials or painted black, symbolizing mourning. Its simplicity was an intentional gesture, expressing solidarity with the nation, modesty, and defiance against the partitioning powers. It was often worn with black clothing, which became popular among the Polish intelligentsia and nobility as a way of expressing rebellion during times when patriotic demonstrations were prohibited.During the January Uprising, the black kontusz button and mourning attire became part of the so-called "patriotic fashion." Both women and men wore jewelry and accessories in subdued colors, often adorned with national symbols such as eagles or anchors, while men donned simplified kontuszes with mourning elements, including black buttons and the kontusz button.Today, the black kontusz button is a rare and highly valuable historical artifact, serving as a reminder of the dark, yet hopeful times of the struggle for independence. It symbolizes both mourning and the unyielding will of the Polish nation in its pursuit of freedom.
