Description: | Incomplete late 16th/ 17th century copper alloy book clasp (hook piece), missing part of its hook. It measures 29.1mm long and is max.12mm wide at the expanded end. It weighs 1.5g. The curled hook piece is 4.4mm wide, the trunk of the book clasp 11.8mm wide.
Stamped decoration survives towards the hook end, and comprises a pair of horizontal lines either side of a band of short vertical lines. Other deocration beyond this is lost through wear and corrosion from the in situ rivet just above the expanded end.
The expanded end is crenellated, with one resultant corner bent backwards. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
