Description: | A complete set of copper alloy cufflinks. Post-Medieval to Modern in date. Two oval discs with a slightly convex reverse and integrally cast suspension loop in the centre. The suspension loops are connected by an elongated oval link. On one side the link is corroded onto the oval disc, the opposite is still movable but shows signs of wear through useage, suggesting extensive use.One one of the discs there is a suggestion of a design etched into the disc as decoration. Several radiating lines suggest that this may have been a wheatshef, although corrosion obscured much of the image.Each disc measures 17mm long, 12mm wide and less than 1mm thick. The connecting link is made from copper alloy wire, circular in section and 1.3mm in diameter. The link is 15mm long.
