Description: | A copper-alloy folded plate for a strap clasp. The clasp is now missing apart from the inner edge, which is within the plate. The plate is rectangular in shape measuring 28mm in length and 16mm in width. It has a front sheet with bent sides which touch the flat back sheet. There are two rivets in each corner of the attachment end which would have held the strap in place. This plate is recessed for the frame but lacks provision for a pin, which implies that it is most likely to have been used to accomodate a folding clasp, rather than a buckle frame. Similar plates, also probably from folding clasps have been found in London and are medieval and 14th or early 15th century in date (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 116, fig 76). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
