Description: | Silvered copper alloy post-medieval clothes fastener, dating from 1600-1700 AD.
The object is roughly oval in shape with four equidistant loops and a hasp at one end. Decoration consists of a central four petaled flower surrounded by a swirling pattern.
This clothing fastener would have formed one part of a pair, the other side having a clasp to fit round the bar of the hasp, thus fastening the clothing to which it was attached.
Length: 37.80mm; width: 17.74mm; thickness; 1.80mm; weight: 5.75g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Gill, Elizabeth | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
