This cuff link was used to close the cuff of a man's shirt at the wrist. It is copper alloy with a glass inset. The back of the inset has been carved with a floral design, a technique known as intaglio.

It is one of an abundance of artifacts, some military and many expensive, even frivolous, found by archaeologists at the Acker site in Birchtown. It, and other clothing-related artifacts found at the site, reflect a person who had not only a sense of style and fashion but the means to show it. The items suggest that the house may have belonged to Stephen and Margaret Blucke. She had some money and he had status in the military.
