Description: | A copper alloy wrist clasp dating to the sixth century AD. The fragment comprises a rectangular section bar divided into three square panels separated by ribbed mouldings. The square panels are all decorated with incised zig-zags whilst traces of tinning are visible on the collars. On one side semi-circular lugs with circular perforations extend from the panels. On the other, a hooked lug extends from the central panel. The wrist clasp measures 30mm in length and 10mm in width and is similiar to example 29.28 illustrated in Macgregor and Bolick (1993) 'A Summary Catalogue of the Anglo-Saxon Collections', p. 180. | Subjects: | Hines Type B12 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Walton, Phillippa - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
