Description: | Copper alloy clasp and plate. The clasp is of the 'Kings head' type, and in this case depicts a crownless head as viewed from above. The attachment bar end of the clasp is decorated with transverse ribbing depicting the hair-line. The forehead is visible after that as a broad undecorated section. There are two eyes represented by circular holes either side of a large moulded nose. The lip of the mouth forms the perimeter at the top, and just inside of it there is another thin band of ribbing, perhaps representing a moustache. The plate is an undecorated flat sheet of copper alloy folded over the bar and riveted together at the attachment end. | Subjects: | clasp | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
