Description: | A cast copper alloy book clasp. The clasp has been formed from one thin plate of copper alloy. The front of the plate is flat, with a flared terminal, which has been decoratively cut. A rivet hole can be seen at this end. There is a small hook on the opposite end. The metal is a mid reddish-brown colour and is very corroded. The clasp probably dates to the 16th - 17th century. A very similar one was found on the Mary Rose. This example is highly decorated.
