Description: | One half of a pair of sheet silver cuff-links of seventeenth century date (AD 1600 - AD 1700). Diameter: 12.8mm; thickness: 3.9mm. Weight: 0.81g. Treasure case no. 2009 T25. The cuff-link is circular in plan, with a turned down edge. The stamped design at the convex front consists of a double heart, surmounted by a single arched crown. This design is set on a stippled background with a plain border. On the concave reverse is a small sub-circular loop, soldered in two places near the centre. The loop is incomplete, possibly due to wear, and would have been attached to an elongated chain loop that joined the missing element. Discussion: Silver buttons of similar date and with similar decoration can be seen in Treasure Annual Report 2004, no. 236 and 239; Treasure Annual Report 2005/6, no. 612 and 613. Metal content: The find contains a minimum of 10% silver. Consequently, in terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
