Description: | A copper-alloy clip and ring. The ring is cast, circular in shape with an external diameter of 10mm and a triangular cross-section, the part of the ring where the clip is attached is straight and narrower in thickness than the rest of it. The clip is formed of a cut and folded strip of copper-alloy, secured by a copper-alloy rivet, it is 12mm in length and 4mm in width. There are similar clips in Biddle (1990, p 1094, fig 4103) found in London which are dated to the late 14th and 15th centuries. The function of clips such as this is not certain Biddle (1990, P1094) suggests that they may have been a riveted to a belt or strap and used to carry a small knife, or perhaps have been a miniature carrying handle on a casket, or have come from the cover of a chained book. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
