Description: | One half of a post-Medieval silver and glass cuff link or possibly a button (c. 1710-c. 1800). It has a convex silver back and its hollow front forms a cell that contains a clear glass setting which is faceted overall. The upper sides of the back slope inwards to secure the setting within the cell. Around this sloping element are twelve evenly spaced decorative protrusions. A separate soldered wire loop at the back is 'D'-shaped in cross-section, flat on the inside. The silver is worn and the glass is also worn, pitted and abraded. Height: 13.4mm; Maximum diameter: 12.4mm. Weight: 2.05g. Compare with similar published objects (Read 2005: 99).
