Description: | A cast copper alloy hook piece from a book clasp. The clasp is rectangular in shape, but the edges have been decoratively shaped. The front has been stamped with four flowers.
Placed centrally on one edge is the semi circular hook. This is bent back towards the reverse of the clasp.
The original surface of the clasp has worn away leaving a dull mid reddish-brown patina. Book clasps of this type date to the 17th ?? 18th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
