Description: | Incomplete early post medieval copper alloy tinned hooked fastener in the shape and style of a shell, concave, with one tiny (broken) fixing point extending from one end (5mm diameter, internal 2mm). To the opposite side extend two arms, again a tiny fixing hole (see above) on either side. Although this suggests its self as a hooked fastener, it is unclear where the fastening would go, as the two arms show no sign of holding a bar between them. Presumably this would have been the 'female' element. 16th/ 17th century. Measures 33.5(just incomplete length)x19mm and weighs 5.56g. | 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: | 1501
