Description: | Copper-alloy jeton formed into a clasp/clothing fastener), now in two halves. The reverse of the jeton (the front of the clasp) has a long cross with star or crescent in each angle. The border, which is beaded on both sides, has an ornament in each segment. It is not possible to identify the reverse as it is heavily corroded and the gilding obscures the design. A copper-alloy loop has been soldered onto the reverse and a corresponding clip which is formed from a narrow strip of copper-alloy with a pointed end which is bent over as a clasp. Both upper and lower surfaces have much gilding surviving. | 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: | 1200
