Description: | Copper-alloy hooked clasp. Post-medieval (c. 16th century). Composite construction (sheeting, wire and ground-supported twisted wire filigree and pellets). Mass: 3.4g, length: 20.9mm, width: 21.7mm, depth: 8.9mm. The front consists of a trefoil of hollow domed bosses each with two small annulets and a trefoil of large annulets, each large annulet encircling a small annulet and a pellet. There is also a central setting, probably for a glass bead which is now missing. The backplate has an engrailed edge but this is largely incomplete. There is a separate soldered wire loop and the stub of a hook on the reverse. The hooked clasp is similar to numbers 261 ?? 263 in: ??Hooked-Clasps & Eyes??, Read, 2008, p.78-9, which Read dates to circa. 16th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Slarke, Duncan - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
