Description: | A composite book clasp, now bent and torn, comprising the upper and lower plates and three rivets, two of which survive. Adjacent to the missing strap the upper surface of the clasp is decorated with a branching motif and, further along, three groups of three radiating lines, as well as a group of three circular apertures. The clasp end is 6.5mm wide. Examples of similar book clasps can be found illustrated in Crummy (1988, 68, ref. 2992-2994) and Allan (1984, 342, ref. 142-143).
