Title
A post medieval lead tin alloy and glass cuff link dating late 17th - mid 18th century
Description
English: A post medieval lead tin alloy and glass cuff link dating late 17th - mid 18th century. This cuff link is discoidal with a concave front and convex back. There is an inset, clear glass stone with chamfered edge, set within the lead alloy cuff link. The lead alloy element has been decoratively cast with a beaded rim and two linear grooves below.
