Description: | Post medieval toggle clasp; cast copper alloy toggle clasp of Read??s proposed Type 5, of 16th century date. This section comprises a plate of rough bar shape biconcave sides giving two sets of pointed side-knops together with a slightly broader, flat-sided end. The plate is broken away at the other end but it seems probable that it would originally have had either a circular ??eye?? section with a rectangular slot or a button section to fit into such a slot and form the clasp (see the examples in Read below). The plate is decorated with rough, moulded, vine-like decoration in low relief. It has two circular rivet holes, both with remains of rivets in situ.
Length 26.4mm, width max. 16.8mm min. 6.5mm, thickness 1.5mm, weight 2.49g
