Description: | Post Medieval silver cufflink element. A disc from one end of a cufflink. On the front is a raised design of a heart with a small flame rising from the top and two arrows in saltire behind it. The raised design is surrounded by a stippled background within a raised circular line border. Beyond this is a down turned edge forming the side ending in an out turned lip. Corresponding recessed areas on the back suggest the design was stamped. The loop on the back is oval with a flattened outer side and formed of circular sectioned drawn wire soldered onto the disc. the solder has covered the centre of the back, filling in the recessed areas, there is an air hole from a bubble to one side. There is no visible makers mark.Dimensions: It is 16.2mm in diameter, 2.2mm thick, 5.1mm including the loop. It weighs 1.01 grams.Many similar examples can be seen on the Portable Antiquities Scheme Database and reported through the Treasure process, e.g. ESS-BD57D3 (2010 T752), YORYM-2C3C87 (2011 T240), SOM-5E1FC3 (2011 T609) and ESS-0934B2 (2010 T570). They are dated to the later 16th to early 17th century. As this was found in 1995 it predates the 1996 Treasure act and would not have been considered Treasure under the old Treasure Trove law.
