A sterling silver cuff link!
Pretty stoked to pull this out of the front yard of the farmhouse.

I’d love to know more about it, but I don’t.

Nice find !
A local Jeweler could probably tell you what it's made of free of charge.

Thanks for the advice, it’s a good idea. I found the “Sterling” stamp on the shank, but I might take it in anyway just to see if they know anything about it.

That is a beautiful cufflink. Looks like a bean back style, so perhaps Edwardian. Congrats!

Possibly showing the head of Mars, Roman god of war.

Thanks. I’ll try that in my image search. I’ve been going with “Athena” and not finding a match.

I've always thought of them as a Centurion. Seems they were a popular motif in men's jewelry in the first half of the 20th century. My grandpa had a gold ring with a red stone intaglio Centurion motif. I remember seeing other men from the earlier generations wearing rings like it in the 60s and 70s and for some reason they always caught my eye. It was popular and I can't figure out why or what the meaning behind the Centurion symbol signifies. Etsy sure has a few Centurion cufflinks listed, but I can't find any like this exact one.
