Description: | A late or post-medieval book clasp which comprises two plates and three rivets. The clasp splays out markedly on the end nearest the missing strap and the profile of this edge is complex. The hooked end has side expansions and a lateral cast groove. On the upper surface adjacent to the splayed end are three circular pits arranged in a triangle which sit within a triangular area formed of incised lines, and other lines arranged in herring bone formation. At the hook end there are two transverse lines of tiny pits either side of the cast groove, and another area of incised lines adjacent to one of the rivets. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Williams, David W - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
