Description: | A cast copper alloy hook piece from a book clasp. The clasp is rectangular in shape and undecorated. Two of the corners are rounded. Placed centrally between these corners is the semi circular hook. This is bent back towards the reverse of the clasp. At the opposite end of the clasp is another hook which is rectangular in shape. The original surface of the clasp has worn away leaving a dull mid brown patina. Book clasps of this type date to the 17th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
