Description: | A copper alloy book clasp constructed from two separate pieces of sheet. The clasp is rectangular with a scalloped inner edge, now broken but probably with four lobes. One side has a narrower rectangular hook that curves to the underside. On the underside there is a separate rectangular plate. There is one circular rivet still in situ at the scalloped end and three rivet holes at the other end, one with a rivet still in situ. This is a hook piece and would have had a corresponding catch. | Subjects: | Book Clasp | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Ghey, Eleanor - British Museum | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
