Description: | An incomplete silver clasp of sixteenth or seventeenth century date (AD 1500 - AD 1700). Length 31mm, maximum width 11.0mm, thickness 0.6mm. Weight: 3.56g. Treasure case no. 2006 T229 (disclaimed).
The clasp tapers in width from the centre towards each end. One end is folded over to facilitate attachment and the other is in the form of an old break. The outer face is decorated with a punched and moulded design consisting of schematic flower motifs and transverse bands of punch-marks forming lines. The inner face is plain. It appears to have been deliberately folded into two equal lengths. Possibly a book or box fitting. | 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: | 1500
