Description: | Ae book-clasp of thin sheeting with stamped decoration applied. The clasp has a slight flaring end with a slightly scalloped edge and was originally secured by two Fe rivets now corroded away. The stamped decoration consists of a star-like circle surrounded by small triangles. The circle is marked by pelleting, a single raised dot is in the centre of each triangle. At the hook end a continuous band of decoration is cut by the edges of the clasp, showing it to have been cut from a sheet bearing larger bands of decoration. This consists of a series of triangles containing ?debased foliage? In a U-shape; the triangles are adjacent to a scroll-work border with vines at one end.
