Description: | A cast copper alloy S-shaped clasp.
The clasp is molded with a central, beaded band from which extends two two dragon-headed terminals, forming an S shape. The heads are molded with fine lines depicting the features of the head. The object is slightly worn, and has a dark greenish-brown patina. Parallels for this type of clasp exist from the post medieval period, although the style continues in use to the present day. | 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: | 1550
