Description: | Probable copper alloy clothes fastener, probably Post-Medieval. The object is triangular in shape, with a semi-circular loop attached to the bottom point. The main body has two small circular perforations at the top corners, and a large one consuming the rest of the space. It also has six knops running around the frame; two on the top corners, two half way down, and two nearing the bottom loop. Attached to the loop appears to be a free swinging iron link with a spherical button attached, presumably used to fasten material. The copper alloy has a green patina, with the iron heavily corroded. It has not been possible to find a close parallel for this object.
