Description: | Copper alloy medieval rotating-end strap clasp.The frame itself is straight-sided and flat in section on three sides, the fourth being circular in section and rivetted in to place to enable its attached rotating end to rotate. This rotating end is decorated with criss-cross incised lines and its outer edge seems worn and probably incomplete (the length varies from 6 to 7.5mm), though it could not have been much longer given the length of the frame from outer edge of circular-sectioned bar to inner edge of the plate folded around the bar of the frame opposite it, is only 9mm.The plate has one rivet, in the centre just before the open end. The edges are cut away slightly on both sides just before the plate folds around the frame.Max length 33mm, max width 15mm. c.1250-1450.Cf Egan 1991 no.566 for another straight-sided-frame example. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
