Description: | An incomplete 'Hasp and clasp' fastener of probable 17th century date (see Bailey, 2004, p. 100).
It is unclear whether this piece represents the hook element or the looped mount. The plate has parallel sides at the bottom and these converge towards the top. At each of the five corners is the remnant of a pierced lobe. The horizontal bottom edge is also damaged and is missing its hook or frame. Decorating the upper surface is a foliate pattern within a beaded border.
The object measures 28.5mm long, 17.9mm wide and 1.6mm thick. The weight is 3.72g. | Subjects: | 'Hasp and clasp' fastener | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
