Description: | An incomplete silver post medieval cuff-link consisting of a circular 'button' with a flange around the edge, with a separate loop soldered onto the reverse. It is decorated in low relief with a pair of hearts beneath a crown on a stippled ground. The loop and flange are now slightly distorted, and there is a break between the central decorated disc and part of the flange.This motif, commonly found on 17th-century cuff-links and buttons, may have celebrated the marriage of Charles II and Catherine of Braganza in 1662 Treasure Annual Report 2001, 81, no. 153; Treasure Annual Report 2005/6, 139, no. 614).Diameter 16mm. Weight 0.6g. 17th century.
