Description: | Cast copper alloy book clasp (or possibly strap end) from the Medieval period.It has been cast in one and is not complete. Both ends have broken. The bottom (round) end has a small extension which would have had an hook on the end. The top end would have just continued on to a straight end.The book clasp would have fitted onto the edge of the cover of a book. For this the clasp is forked from half way down. The bottom end (which is solid) has a circular perforation around which, on one face, is a flower, using the hole as the central part of the flower.
