Cast silver cufflink. The disc is circular in plan with down turned edges. The edges are now distorted and cracked. A crack also runs across the body of the disc, visible only on the reverse. The edges have suffered damage and the cufflink is now bent out of shape. The upper surface is decorated with a cherub either side of a flaming heart, supporting a crown above (Lewis, Form1, Type E). The background has a stippled effect. The reverse of the disc would normally bear a wire attachment loop however on this example, this is obscured with probably iron concretion. Dimensions: 14.8m…
