A complete silver cuff link element or probable button, of Early Modern dating (Late 18th to 19th Centuries AD).
The cuff link element is circular in plan, with bevelled edges. No decoration is present on the front of the cuff link element. The reverse is concave. A circular attachment loop has been fixed by solder in the centre of the reverse.
It has a diameter of 13.1 mm in diameter, 4.5 mm thick and the metal is 0.5 mm thick. It weighs 0.7 g.
