Description: | A copper-alloy rectangular shaped probable hook piece from a book clasp, measuring 39.37mm in length and 10.49mm in width. At one end there is a small rectangular protrusion which is very worn, this is likely to be the remains of a hook. In the centre of the clasp behind this there is a corroded iron rivet. The other terminal is slightly wider and has V-shaped notches along its edge, it also has five perforations, a central larger perforation surrounded by four smaller perforations. Traces of a white metal coating can be seen on the front face. This probable book clasp is likely to be late medieval or early post-medieval in date.
