Description: | Hook-piece from a small rectangular book clasp made from copper-alloy sheet. One end is flared and shaped, and is now incomplete. The other end is narrowed and bent into a hook. There is stamped decoration near the hook, consisting of two transverse lines at a skewed angle and then a lozenge filled with ornament. In the centre of the lozenge is an iron rivet, with a second iron rivet at the flared end. The flared end may also have been decorated, but the corrosion makes it hard to tell. The clasp has a rough brown patina with the metal colour showing through in places.
