Description: | A cast copper alloy clothes fastener. The object appears to be only part of something. A curved half cylinder of copper alloy plate forms the main part of the artefact; the front surface of this is decorated with a series of parallel criss-cross lines. This design is then frames within a raise line around the edges of the plate. The cylinder shape in wider at one end than the other, it tapers to the thinner end. A small, thin, tapering projection extends from the middle of the thinner end of the half cylinder. The reverse is undecorated. An almost identical object has been described in Treasure Hunting (April 2004) as being a Late medieval clothes fastener.
