Description: | A cast copper alloy clasp. The clasp has been formed from one thin plate of copper alloy. The front of the plate is flat and decorated. The decoration is formed from incised lines in bands, each band is then infilled with incised parallel lines. A rivet hole can be seen in the centre and it still contains an iron rivet. There is a small hook on one end and a notch or broken rivet hole on the opposite end. The metal is a mid reddish-green colour and is very corroded. The clasp probably dates to the 16th - 17th century. A very similar one was found on the Mary Rose.
