Description: | A virtually complete stamped sheet copper-alloy clog or shoe clasp of late post-medieval or modern date (c. 1790 - c. 1920 AD). The clasp is sub-rectangular in plan with lobed semicircular protrusions at one end. At this end is an integral, but broken, 'anchor'-shaped hook on the lower surface. At the opposite end there is a small cental hook in the form of a rectangle with rounded corners. This has been pressed such that it is flush to the clasp. The upper surface is ornamented in low relief by stamping from the reverse; the design consists an asymmetrical plant with flowers emerging from a basket. The clasp has been bent upwards in profile at one of the ends. The raised surfaces are a dull red-brown colour with lighter areas between and some dusty copper-alloy corrosion product in places. This clasp has a direct parallel in Read (1995, 179; ref. 1212) which would have been the partner piece to this example. | Subjects: | Shoe or clog | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
