Description: | A copper alloy book clasp dating to the late fifteenth or sixteenth centuries AD. The clasp comprises a flat, approximately triangular sheet which has been bent over at the apex. At the wide end, the sheet has been cut to form six triangular rounded lugs decorated with incised diagonal lines. There are two small circular perforations just above these lugs, one of which is filled with a white accretion. The surface of the clasp is corroded with a pitted green patina but in patches the original surface, which appears to be tinned, is visible. The clasp measures 59mm in length and a maximum of 29mm in width. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Walton, Phillippa - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
