Bronze Age Gold Ornaments in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, April 2010
Gold Ornaments
Bronze Age
Made about 900-600 BC in Ireland
Accession # 47.100.9, .10
Though objects such as these are conventionally called "dress fasteners" and "sleeve fasteners," their exact purpose is unknown. It has been proposed that the smaller "sleeve fastener" worked much like a modern cufflink: the disks would have been drawn through slits in the garment. The "dress fastener" may have been secured by loops sewn onto the garment.
