Description: | A copper alloy book clasp with a rectangular curved hook at one end. The main clasp plate is rectangular with three lobes at the other end. A circular hole at the lobed ends still contains an iron rivet (now corroded). The decoration on the clasp is ornate but unfortunately not distinct on the photograph used for recording. There appears to be a circular engraved line around the rivet hole with a triangular field above this. The decoration near the clasp end is between two linear bands and appears to be foliate. The clasp resembles another found in the area and recorded on this database, BUC-091C56. | Subjects: | Clasp | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Ghey, Eleanor - British Museum | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
