Dress fastener 'Spectacle' (electrotype)

Copies of gold examples in the Dublin Museum. The link consists of two thin discs connected by an arch, and thus resemble the pennanular bracelet with large cup-shaped terminals, from which it was probably derived. The discs being passed through buttonholes, the arch, which is always decorated, alone is visible.
