Description: | Medieval/post-medieval cast copper-alloy book clasp. It has a hook at one end with an integral rectangular shaft which flares outwards towards a fan tail at the opposite end of the clasp. There are two rivet holes, one in either corner of the fan tail, which blocked by the remains of rivets and there are two circular perforations side-by-side at the point where the shaft flares out to become the fan tail. No decoration is visible although the surface is very abraded with a light green patina. It measures 37.46mm long, 15.66mm wide, is 1.34mm thick and weighs 2.84g. Similar book clasps can be found in Bailey, G. 1995. Detector Finds, pages 70-78. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
