English: Part of a post medieval silver cufflink (AD 1700-1800). The piece comprises the decorative stud from one end of a cufflink, the linking bar or chain and the other stud are missing. The stud is octagonal in plan, domed with a concave reverse. The outer face is decorated with inscribed lines comprising a central circle and eight arcs, one running from each corner to the next. On the reverse is a central loop for attaching the linking bar or chain. The stud is 16.07mm in diameter, 4.98mm thick and weighs 1.35g. Although the earliest cufflinks date back to the 17th century the shape, condition and style of this item suggests it is under 300 years old.
