Description
English: A complete Post Medieval, copper alloy cuff link or cuff button dating from AD 1740-1786. Each fastener is circular in plan and depicts a right facing man in armour with a cannon to his right and two banner flags.

They have an integral looped shank and are joined by a drawn wire link.
