Description: | Post Medieval book clasp. Cast in copper alloy this book clasp is incomplete, with a break towards the hooked end. The clasp is rectangular in plan with an expanded attachment end. There are five circular perforations at the attachment end, arranged in two parallel rows, two rivet holes being closet to the end (one containing the remains of a rivet), with the remaining three approximately 5mm further along. There is a further singular rivet hole, positioned approximately half way along the clasp. The upper surface is decorated with incised linear decoration, with a ring around the single rivet hole. The clasp has a red-brown patina and the surface is worn. It is 57mm long and 25mm wide. | 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: | 1500
