Description: | A fragmentary copper alloy wrist clasp dating to the sixth century AD. The fragment comprises a rectangular section bar divided into square panels separated by ribbed mouldings. A flat trapezoidal plate extends from the square end panel. Where the wrist clasp is broken, the remains of an oval perforation are visible, presumbably part of an eye. The fragment measures 21mm in length, 12mm in width and 3mm in thickness. The clasp is similiar to example 29.28 illustrated in Macgregor and Bolick (1993) 'A Summary Catalogue of the Anglo-Saxon Collections', p. 180.
