Description: | Two copper alloy fragments, possibly from seperate sleeve clasps. They both measure roughly 21mm by 5mm, and 1.5mm thick. The upper fragment bears no decoration, but it appears to have one clear upper edge. All of the other edges look broken, however they are all well patinated. The lower fragment is decorated with two transverse lines just inside what appears to be a clear edge. Half way along this there is also a broken projection, circa 7mm in length. This projection resembles the catch one would find on a sleeve clasp. The rest of the edges are broken and are well patinated. Both objects have clearly been damaged in antiquity, and have a globby, almost melted appearence. They might have been sleeve claps, and this more likely given the context of the find. | 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: | 500
