Description: | A cast copper alloy book clasp. The clasp has been formed from one thin plate of copper alloy. The front of the plate is flat, with a flared terminal, which has been decoratively cut. A rivet hole can be seen at this end and holds a copper alloy rivet. There is a small hook on the opposite end. The metal is a mid reddish-brown colour and is very corroded. The clasp probably dates to the 16th ?? 17th century. A very similar one was found on the Mary Rose. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
