Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy clasp dating from the late 14th century. The object comprises a broken circular loop attached to a rectangular strap end with a slight constriction between the two elements. The strap end is ornamented with a cord decoration comprising three parallel cords running along the length of the strap end. The whole object has a tin coating. It is similar to a clasp recovered from the Baynard Castle Dock site, London in 1972 (Egan and Pritchard, 1991, 120-1, no.572). Although that example was made of iron, it was dated to 1350-1400 AD. | 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: | 1350
