Description: | Cu Alloy clasp probably of Medieval or Post Medieval date.
The clasp appears complete and the hinge mechanism is still working. It is made of 2 pieces which are attached by the central hinge mechanism.
In plan it is sub-square in shape. Each half of the clasp is made from a piece of sheet Cu alloy folded in half at the hinge end. The outer edges are not straight, with 2 shallow semi-circles cut out of each side to give a 'wave' effect. In each corner there is a circular perforation.
The hinge is surrounded by a cylindrical case in 2 parts. | 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 | Creator: | Frances McIntosh | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
