Title: Silver faces Post by: Dylan on August 28, 2015, 06:07:59 PM A friend of mine found this strange artefact and has struggled to identify it and I haven’t seen anything like it either. It looks like it’s made of silver. There is what looks like a suspension loop and there were probably four ‘arms’ originally which swivel around the centre piece which looks a bit like a rose. Two of the arms have been snapped off but on the two remaining arms are little heads. Any ideas about and date and what it is?

Cloak clasp,circa 1660 ish,at a guess,very nice find indeed,well saved by the finder.👍 Title: Re: Silver faces Post by: Dylan on August 28, 2015, 07:09:03 PM thanks, yep that would make sense. I've never seen anything like it before so I've learned something today - that's the beauty of this hobby, there's always odd things that come out of the ground that you can't identify; most are nothing interesting but then you find something like this!
