Description: | Most of an S-shaped clasp of Post-Medieval date. It is cast with moulding on both sides, having a central knopped collar with a foliate fringe. One terminal is incomplete, and the other ends with a dragon-head terminal. It measures 30.62mm in length and varies in width between 6mm and 10.15mm at the dragon's head terminal. The clasp weighs 3.99g. It is likely to date from 1540-1620 when such clasps were in use and an exact parallel has been recorded from London(Egan 2005,p.47, no.172). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
