Description: | Thinly cast copper-alloy item, probably a book clasp of roughly triangular shape, one of the 'arms' and part of the hook is missing. See LANCUM-CC96D3 for a more complete example. The remainer of the hook is 15.4mm long, 3.4mm wide and 2.8mm thick. It has broken off before it starts to bend. The plate has an irregular outline with a roughly trapizoid part attached to the hook (22.5mm long by 34.7mm wide by 1.0mm thick) and opposite the hook two roughly triangular 'arms', one of the arms was lost to an old break. The remaining arm is 19.6mm long by 17.7mm wide by 1.2mm thick). Two rivet holes remain (it is assumed there would have been a third in the lost 'arm').The holes are countersunk on the front. 2.7mm in diameter, to hold a rivet head and 1.1mm in diameter on the back. The whole item weighs 8.4 grams.
