Description: | A cast copper-alloy cuff link. Dating is difficult but could be from the late 17th to early 19th century. The cuff link consists of two discs secured by a long oval link. Each disc is oval with a concave reverse and an integrally-cast, rectangular loop. The front surface is decorated with an engraved floral pattern comprising a central pellet with radiating 'petals'. Surrounding this, on either side, are long, sweeping leaves which follow the outer curves of the discs terminating at the top of the disc with a trefoil. The outer circumference of the disc is decorated with punched dots. Both discs are decorated in the same pattern. The integral loops are joined by a drawn wire loop, an elongated oval in plan and circular in section.Each disc measures 16mm x 12.2mm with the loop being 14mm in length.
