Description: | Incomplete silver cuff link element, octagonal in plan, convex at the front and concave at the rear with a down-turned edge. The upper face is engraved with a rose with four circular grooved petals alternating with four lozenge-shaped petals around a central hatched circle. Beneath the flower is inscribed the letter 'M', which is probably the initial of the wearer. The rose and letter are all within an octagonal border with scalloped sides. The cuff link has a complete attachment loop made from silver wire at the back which would have attached to an oblong wire loop that connected it with the other cuff link.Similar cuff link elements have been recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database. For example see finds: IOW-6D3E94; IOW-4A7C02; IOW-942384; IOW-FBD221; LON-427394; LON-BAD6E2; SUSS-F91492 and WILT-323F27. These have all been dated from c.1720-1800.
