Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Copper alloy cuff link fragment. A probably die-stamped disc with a tapered stalk projecting from the back with a tiny T-shaped end to engage with a counterpart and enable it to swivel. The front bears a plate of thin material, perhaps shell, over a ferrous metal backing whose decay has discoloured the display face. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1800-1900.
