Description: | A copper alloy hooked clasp. The object is 26.7mm long, 13.2mm wide and 8.1mm thick. It is semi-circular in section but hollow; half a cylinder. There are slight projecting flanges along both sides. Only part of the object survives, the back plate having been lost. The front of the object is decorated with a panel filled with cross hatching. At one end the semi-cylinder is closed and a hook projects from its centre. The opposite end is open. The metal has a light green dusty patina. Brain Read dates this form of 'single sharpe hooked clasp' (his Class C, Type 3) to the late 15th, early 16th century. | Subjects: | Hooked | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
