Description: | This object may be the plate from a two-part book fitting or clasp. The fastener itself is missing as is the lower part of the plate and the terminal as well as evidence for the rivet which would have secured the leather strap to the plate. The edges are scalloped, with probably originally three to each side. There is a central decorative panel but the details are indistinct. Both sides are gilded.
