Description: | Cast copper-alloy one-piece book clasp loop and plate. The sub-rectangular plate is split to hold the missing leather strap and has two rivet holes at the end, with traces of both copper-alloy rivets. There is a transverse moulded ridge dividing the plate from the sub-circular loop which has a central oval hole (2.5 x 4.5mm) and terminates in a loop in the form of an animal's head. The terminal has a hole (2.5 x 4.5mm) which is at right angles to the rest of the clasp. The reverse is flat. The upper surface is decorated with moulded curving motifs, with small traces of gilding surviving.
