Description: | The clasp frame is made of cast copper alloy, and has a folded sheet of two edges. Including the two folded sheets the length of the clasp is 29.5mm and is 19.9mm wide. The frame in plan is a trapezoidal shape. There is a sub-rectangular sheet folded over the 'folding end' which is the widest edge. This sheet has an abraded edge, and traces of a fine 'feathery' decoration on the upper surface. The plate is also folded over the most narrow edge. The plate is sub-rectangular in plan with abraded terminal edges. At the terminal of the plate the two holves have a rivet hole at the edge in the centre. The plates have a mid to dark green polished patina. The frame has a mid green patina. Egan and Pritchard suggest these clasps date from the late 13th to early 15th centuries.
