Description: | A copper alloy trefoil-shaped hooked clothes fastener of composite construction; one of the three domes which comprises the obect is missing. The hollow back of the fastener is filled with lead or a lead alloy. The fastener appears to comprise six separate components. The two surviving domes appear to be the heads of separate rivets, one of which survives and which is bent at right-angles at the back of the fastener. Each dome is decorated with a ring of punched pits around a central pit. The central rivet appears to retain the Y-shaped plate component which divides the three domes. Each arm of this component is decorated with a central groove and diagonal grooves on each side in herring-bone form. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Williams, David W - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
