Description: | A copper alloy book clasp of Post-Medieval date. The outer edge is straight and slightly flared with a rectangular hook on the underside. The opposite edge has three lobes, each containing a circular-headed rivet on the underside. The incised decoration forms a linear border around the edge and a bifurcating scroll from the central lobe out to the side lobes. In the central part of the scroll there is a chevron (containing short lines) with a rectangle below it, divided into five adjacent sections. These are alternately plain and cross-hatched. There is linear hatching visible in the area of the scroll. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Ghey, Eleanor - British Museum | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
