Description: | A copper-alloy clothes fastener of post-medieval date. The object consists of three hemispherical hollow sections which are joined together on a slightly larger plate. Each hemisphere is decorated with three large filigree spirals, with a smaller filigree circle inside and, inside this, a raised dot. The outer edge is toothed and there is a remnant of a possible fourth hemisphere at the point where the other three meet. On the reverse is a raised horizontal attachment bar and, below this, a small circular hole which would originally have held a hook. The upper surface of the piece has traces of silvering. It measures 15.9mm wide by 7.8mm thick and weighs 2g.
