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 that is slightly squared with an oval perforation. The glass inlay is red and is decorated with five pellets surrounding a central pellet, in the formation of a flower. 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).

Dimensions: diameter: 11.63 mm; thickness: 12.08 mm; weight: 1.69g.
