Description: | A cast copper alloy hooked plate from either a book clasp, a dress fastener or a shoe. The clasp has been decoratively cut, forming an egg timer shape. The front has been stamped with a zig-zag line across the widest part of the plate. Two rivet holes have been drilled through this part of the plate also. The hook which is situated at the opposite end of the plate is broken. The original surface of the clasp has worn away leaving a mid brownish-green patina. Clasps of this type date to the 17th - 18th century.
