Description: | Part of a copper-alloy clasp, probably for fastening an item of clothing. The clasp consists of a bent strip of copper-alloy which extends into a T shape at both of its ends. The reverse of the clasp is damaged however and one of the arms of the T has broken off. The arms of the Ts are perforated with circular holes, 2 mm in diameter, presumably so that a hook could pass through them. The two ends of the strip are soldered together leaving a recess in the middle. Traces of gilt survive. The object is 12 mm long and 12 mm wide. It is probably 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 |
