Description: | Cast and sheet copper alloy incomplete folding strap clasp with plates and simple one-piece frame. The sides of the frame are slightly convex and are decorated with a moulded ridge near each corner. The incomplete folding end is recessed from the frame and has a crudely filed ovoid bar-mount still riveted to it. The opposite plate also still retains its rivet at the end of the plate. The strap clasp probably functioned together with the shield-shaped strap ends illustrated in Egan (2002) on page 157, Fig.103, Nos.732-42 which are dated to c.1350-1400.
Egan (2002) illustrates a similar example on page 118, Fig.77, No.553, which is dated to c.1330-1380. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
