Description: | A Medieval copper alloy folding strap clasp (late 13th-early 15th century). The frame is rectangular and flat and originally had a folded sheet plate and folding end, however these are missing. The sides of the frame have a rectangular cross-section and they are moulded to have a slightly waisted mid-point and curved ends, with two transverse ridges near each end. The bars for the plate and folding end have a circular cross-section with visible file marks. Dark grey-green patina.
It is similar in form to no 553 found in London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: 117-8)
Dimensions: length: 16.28mm; width: 14.06mm; thickness: 4.05mm; weight: 1.56g
