Title
A Post Medieval lead alloy button or cuff link
Description
English: A Post Medieval cast lead alloy button or cufflink of Charles II (1603-1685) with double hearts decoration. This button or cufflink has been cast into a flat circular disc with an attachment loop projecting from the reverse. The front is decorated with raised decoration of two hearts and a crown above, with a pellet to the left and right of the crown and in between the hearts. The decoration is contained within a raised border at the outermost edge, and the recessed ground is textured with a pattern of fine repeating pellets.

Cufflinks and buttons bearing this design are associated with Charles II, either his restoration in 1660 or his marriage to Catherine of Braganza in 1660 (Read 2005:98).

Dimensions: thickness: 4.51mm; diameter: 14.11mm; weight: 1.34g.
