Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy openwork hasp, probably a box or casket fitting. It is incomplete due to an old break, but roughly rectangular in shape, flaring in width towards one terminal, measuring 34mm in surviving length and 16.7mm in width. The complete narrower end has a transverse rectangular perforation, and beyond this there are five oval holes, arranged in two diagonal rows of two and three. The longitudinal edges of the hasp have rounded protruding knops along them. This incomplete hasp is identical to a slightly more complete openwork hasp found at Middle Harling, Norfolk. This example is believed to be 10th or 11th century in date due to its similarity with openwork strap ends of that date (East Anglian Archaeology 74, p65-67, fig 46, no 99).
