Description: | A Post Medieval cast lead alloy cufflink decorated with a double heart motif dating c. 1660 - 1700. This is one part of a cufflink with double heart decoration. It has a flat circular disc with an attachment loop projecting from the reverse; aligned with the casting seam. The front is decorated with raised decoration of two hearts and a crown above, with a pellet to the left and right of the crown and in between the hearts. The decoration is contained within a raised border at the outermost edge, and the recessed ground is textured with a pattern of fine repeating pellets.Cufflinks and buttons bearing this design have been associated with Charles II, either his restoration in 1660 or his marriage to Catherine of Braganza (Read 2005:98) but the motif probably continued in use beyond his reign.Dimensions: diameter: 15.87mm; weight: 1.53g.Reference: Read, B. 2005. Metal Buttons C.900BC - AD1700. Portcullis Publishing, Langport, Somerset.
