Description: | A copper alloy medieval folding strap clasp. The rotating (or 'folding') end is missing. The outside bar for the rotating end is faceted but has an approximately circular section. The sides of the frame are slightly convex, and there are knops protruding at the top and bottom of the outside bar. The plate is attached to the inside bar and is recessed. It is rectangular and its inside edge is broken around the rivet hole on one side. The rivet is in situ in its hole on the reverse of the plate. The clasp measures 32.2mm in length, 16.14mm in width and weighs 3.23g.An example of a similar type (though with decorated plate) from medieval London is illustrated by Egan and Pritchard (fig.77, no.552) and dates to the late thirteenth to fourteenth centuries. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
