Description: | Cast copper alloy fastener with trefoil ropework loop: dimensions 20.13mm x 18.46mm x 1.88mm with a weight of 1.52gms.
The hook was originaly attached to the larger, central loop but has broken off due to an old break. Two of the loops are open but one of the side loops is closed by a thin sheet of copper alloy, possibly due to casting error. From the base of the loops two bars project, each 6.1mm long, with a central projecting lobe; these are then joined at the other end by a straight bar, 15.6mm long, with projecting lobes at each end. The back is flat.
A very similar fastener can be seen in Bailey (2004) page 96, No.12.22 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Taylor, Jeff | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
