Description: | Medieval copper alloy strap clasp: one-piece, trapezoidal frame with expanded outside edge decorated with oblique lines forming chevrons, and file marks on the sides; rectangular plate of folded sheet secured by rivet, with frame recesses and two pairs of transverse lines of punched, addorsed triangles near straight outside edge.
Frame 24 x 11 ?? 13mm. Plate 24 x 9mm.
??The precise way in which [this type of clasp which lacks a folding end] would have functioned is obscure.?? (Dress Access. 120). A king??s head is more often found on the outside edge (ibid no.568; I Goodall in Mayes, P. South Witham 2002, fig.7.9 no.102), but clasps without a folding end are not common.
