Description: | Hook-piece of an incomplete cast copper-alloy Anglo-Saxon Sleeve Clasp of Hine's B12 form. The rectangular bar with three panels, the central one is larger than the two end panels. Between the panels are two smaller panels with a transverse rib. The rectangular catch-piece (8.5mm x 3.3mm) projects from the front edge of the central panel. On the rear edge are three projections, one D-shaped and perforated, another probably identical but missing, and the third, in the centre, larger, triangular and unperforated. There is a saltaire cross scratched into the triangular projection, this is likely to be accidental scratches rather than decoration. The length of the sleeve clasp is 30.6mm, the width is 16.4mm and the weight is 3.28g. | 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: | 470
