Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy and gilded object, probably a clasp or part of a small hinge. Probably Post-Medieval (c. AD 1500 - c. AD 1800). Length 40.2mm, width 13.0mm and 2.1mm thick. Weight 4.25g.The main part of the object is flat with parallel sides. At one end a narrowed central projection has a length of 8.0mm and a width of about 4.0mm. It curves slightly downwards and may have originally formed a hook although the end of it is now broken and incomplete. At the opposite end two sub-rectangular projections form a central slot which has a maximum width of 5.0mm. The end of each projection is also broken and incomplete. Both of these projections curve slightly downwards.The surfaces are mainly covered with patchy light green corrosion products. One face has traces of gilding.
