Title
An incomplete post medieval copper alloy cuff link with glass inlay dating to the late 17th - early 18th century.
Description
English: An incomplete post medieval copper alloy cuff link with glass inlay dating to the late 17th - early 18th century. This example is plano-convex with a beaded rim and a further two circumferential grooves below the rim. It has an integral loop with a circu;ar perforation. The glass inlay is clear and rounded. This is only one cufflink of two, both would have been connected by a link.

Brian Read notes that there is much debate over the dating of glass fronted cuff-links, though cuff-links generally came into fashion at the end of the 17th century (Read, 2005, 128). Similar cuff-links but with different designed glass inlay and different loops can be found in Read (2005, nos. 505-6). A further parallel can be found on the PAS database: LON-8F5334

Dimensions: diameter: 11.02 mm; thickness: 11.05 mm; weight: 1.88g.
