Description: | Incomplete silver cuff link of probable eighteenth century date (AD 1700 - AD 1800). Diameter of each piece 12mm, overall thickness 2.3mm. Weight 1.32g. The cuff link consists of two pieces made of sheet silver. Each is about 12mm in diameter and has a down-turned bevelled rim forming a hollow underside. On the reverse of each piece is a small silver wire loop, joined together by an elongated wire loop. The bevelled rim is decorated in relief with a repetitive and equally spaced symmetrical leaf motif. The face of each piece is decorated in relief with a female bust facing right, a letter A to the left of the neck and a letter R to the right of the neck. One of the pieces is slightly damaged and bent, otherwise in good condition. The bust resembles Queen Anne (reigned 1702-14).
