Description: | A heart-shaped element made from silver sheet with a folded over edge. It is engraved on the front with initials CR flanking a crown; the rest of the design is damaged and illegible, pierced through and squashed edge on one side. The reverse is plain. There is no obvious sign of an attachment, making it difficult to determine the function of this object. The linking of the heart, crown and initials recalls the stamped designs on late 17th century silver buttons. The engraving would suggest a late seventeenth century date. - Dr Dora Thornton, British Museum. The object appears to be the upper half of a locket. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1650
