Description: | Cu Alloy clasp probably of Medieval or Post Medieval date.The clasp appears complete and the hinge mechanism is still working. It is made of 2 pieces which are attached by the central hinge mechanism. In plan it is sub-square in shape. Each half of the clasp is made from a piece of sheet Cu alloy folded in half at the hinge end. The outer edges are not straight, with 2 shallow semi-circles cut out of each side to give a 'wave' effect. In each corner there is a circular perforation. The hinge is surrounded by a cylindrical case in 2 parts.
