Description: | Post-Medieval hooked clasp, sub-rectangular sheet front plate with damaged attachment edge with perforations containing two iron rivets, rounded angles at base and folded flange around sides and base. Separate back-plate and separate hook (now distorted) inserted in base and secured by a single copper alloy rivet. The face of the front plate has symmetrical incised foliate decoration reserved on a horizontally hatched field. Cf. an example belonging to the first half of the sixteenth century in Egan (2005), fig.28, no.167, however the style of decoration on this example seems a little later, possibly early 17th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Robbins, Katherine - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
