Title
Cufflink Post Medieval
Description
English: A post-Medieval set of silver cufflinks (c. AD 1725-1800). The set of cufflinks consists of two silver elements, joined together with a sub rectangular silver loop, circular in cross-section. Each single element is octagonal in shape, convex at the front and concave at the rear. The edges are down-turned. Each element has a complete silver wire loop which is circular in cross-section. At the front, engraved decoration consists of an octagonal border with scalloped sides. In the centre is a flower/rose with four main petals alternately with four smaller petals. The centre of each rose has a circular area formed by a number of pellets.

Reference: Similar cuff link elements have been recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database. For example see finds: IOW-4A7C02; IOW-64694F; IOW-942384 and WILT-323F27.
