Curator's report:
Description: flat disc like button, cast with decoration moulded in relief. On the front a sun's face within twelve rays. On the back in relief maker's mark 'IL' on either side of the missing shank.

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Post Medieval silver buckle probably dating to the late 17th or early 18th century. Oval buckle frame, with bevelled internal edges creating a domed effect with hollow reverse.

There is a v-shaped notch on the inner edge which forms the pin rest. The pin is also missing.

A Post Medieval silver cufflink dating to the late 17th century.
Curator's report: Post-medieval silver cufflink, round and stamped with paired hearts surmounted by a crown within double rings, on a stippled ground. On the back, flattened bar attachment loop.
Part of a set of cufflinks judging by the delicacy of the loop, and a well-know late 17th Century type. As such, due to its age and precious metal content, this object qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.

A Post Medieval gold pin head (16th century).
Curator's report: Small, heavy gold pin head with hole for attachment to a gold wire. The hemispherical head squashed flat, decorated with applied filigree circlets and knops, and with flower heads made up of small turquoises (identified by Raman spectroscopy) held in claw settings and surrounded by petals of openwork gold decoration made of fine twisted wire.
This fascinating pin head suggests the gold prototypes for the silver-gilt types of the 16th Century which are commonly reported through the Treasure Act. Its e…

A Post Medieval - Modern silver cufflink (18th century). The cufflink comprises two octagonal discs with a loop on each reverse and an interconnecting oval link securing the two discs. Each of the discs has a concave reverse and the front surface is decorated with an engraved pattern. The pattern has a central motif of a six pointed star burst of radiating lines within a scalloped border. There is no maker's mark visible on the link. Dora Thornton confirms this is less than 300 years old and so does not fall under the Treasure Act. Dimensions: Diameter of each disc: 9.65mm; length: 20…

A Post Medieval gold button dating to the late 15th - very early 16th century. Hazel Forsyth: There are others of a similar type in the Chalcis Treasure.

Curator's report: Gold artefact, originally a thin cylinder of gold now squashed flat, with two bands of filigree decoration, filigree openwork terminal with traces of enamel.

A Post Medieval - possibly Modern gold button (late 16th - early 19th century).
Small gold button in the shape of a flowerhead, perhaps a daisy, with solid centre and petals forming shallow compartments filled with a composition, perhaps glass inlay, some of which is now missing. Single loop attachment in gold at the centre of the back. Approximately 0.7 cm diameter.
This naturalistic flowerhead button is difficult to place. The fine tooling on front suggests age and the working at the back, together with uneven outline, suggests that it has been hand cut not stamped. The …

A gold fragment of an artefact of an undiagnostic date. The fragment comprises a loop made from a flat strip of gold from which two broken strands project creating an incomplete figure of eight in appearance. At the junction between the strip and the broken projections an incomplete cinquefoil has been soldered to the front. The surface of the strip is decoratively cast with a twisted rope motif.
Dora Thornton and Judy Rudoe has had a look at this and they can't place what it is but believe it is undiagnostic.

A Medieval/Post-Medieval silver double-ended dress fastener (14th - 16th century).
Curator's report:
Silver artefact finely made from twisted wire, two sharply pointed ends curved over to form an agraffe.
This appears to be a double strap attachment or garter hook, of a type fashionable in the late 15th Century. They are sometimes decorated with applied plaques or decorative elements, see a four-pronged one with a Tudor rose, in TAR 2005, nos. 695, also a three-pronged one, no. 696, both dated by their decoration or related pictorial evidence to the la…
