Description: | The clasp is a rectangular shape in plan. It is formed by two sheets of copper alloy which are then riveted together at one terminal by a copper alloy rivet. This terminal and its make up suggests it was also a strap end, with the strap between each plate. The opposite terminal of the upper plate has a stepped in rectangular protrusion which is slightly curved forming the clasp element. This upper plate is decorated with two parrellel lines along either side of the longest edges. Towards the clasped terminal there is a lug protruding with a circular hole. The reverse of the object is undecorated. The clasp has a mid green patina.
