Description: | Hook-piece from a wrist-clasp, of Hines's Form B20. In this type, the bar and plate are cast in one piece, and the rear edge is shaped. The front edge of this clasp-half is straight, and consists of the bar, divided into three by two pairs of transverse grooves. There is a ring-and-dot motif in each of the three parts. A narrow band of incised diagonal lines divides the bar from the plate area. The plate has three sewing holes just behind this band of diagonal lines, and then has a rear edge shaped into four scallops, each decorated with another ring-and-dot motif. There is an irregular line of what appears to be rocker-arm decoration running across both bar and plate. The drawing appears to have been assembled the wrong way round (it shows the hook apparently on the rear, rather than the front, edge). | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 470
