Description: | A Post-medieval silver cuff link element dating from the late 17th or early 18th Century. It is one disc from a cuff link. It is a circular sheet, stamped out with a flanged edge. The design depicts a crown over two clasped hands from which descends a heart, all on a stippled ground. There is a soldered silver wire loop on reverse. There is slight damage to the edge. It has a diameter of 16mm.Another cuff link of the same design is ESS-2592A7 (2007 T495) which was declared as Treasure after being identified and dated by Geoff Egan, National Finds Advisor for the Portable Antiquities Scheme.In the balance of probability this object is highly likely to date prior to 1710 and 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.Amy Downes
