Silver, 1.69 grams; 25.99 mm. Circa 16th-17th century AD. A beautiful cast silver convex moulded-relief clothes fastener, leaf-shaped and detailed with a high and low relief chequered pattern, possibly Masonic. The eye-section that receives the male fastener is small with rounded sides and has a fixing loop either side, the end terminal is in the form of a degraded trefoil and the fixing hole is positioned just above.
