Description: | A Medieval copper alloy book clasp (late 14th-early 15th century). The book clasp is broken across the rectangular loop to which the hinged double-sided plate (not present) would attach, so that only one 'arm' of this loop remains. There is a raised rib just before the perforated circular section that fits over the peg attached to the book cover. The book clasp then has a small terminal that is perforated along the horizontal axis. It is broken across this perforation and the tip is missing. The reverse of the book clasp is flat. It is similar to No. 922 found in London (Egan 1998: 278.9). Dark green patinaDimensions: length 25.21mm; width 13.59mm; weight 4.45gReference: Egan, G The medieval household.
