Description: | A copper-alloy object, probably part of a clasp for a book or possibly from a military uniform. The item consists of a strip of copper-alloy, folded at one end to produce a recess by which the object was presumably attached to something. At the other end the item expands to form an elaborate terminal, with two sets of wings. The lower set of wings wnd in a point and curve back in before the upper set of wings emerge which are rounded. All wings are pierced with a circular perforation, 2 mm in diameter, possibly for the attachment of a clasp. The object is 35 mm long and 25 mm wide at its maximum width, 10 mm wide at its narrowest. It is possibly post-medieval in date. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tom Brindle | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
