Description: | Sheet copper alloy hooked object, probably a book clasp, 17th century or later? Cruciform, three of the arms have tri-lobed terminals with a single rivet hole in the centre of each. The third arm is longer and parallel sided, bent over towards the end (about 15mm from end / c.22mm along the arm), and then the pointed tip is bent back again. Crack across the base of one of the trefoil arms, and concave on the reverse due to damage - it would probably originally have been straight. Iron staining around one of the rivet holes. Length 53.94mm, width 46.2mm, thickness of metal 0.8mm, thickness overall including hook 12.7mm, diameter of rivet holes c.2.3mm, weight 6.16g. | 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: | 1600
