Description: | A cast, copper alloy, rectangular strap clasp with an expanded, decorated outer edge. The outer edge carries a raised image of a forward facing human bust with long hair. The face has an open, trapezoidal mouth, triangular eyes and a raised ridge for the nose. The bust wears a crown with three equally spaced knops. The frame is rectangular and the bar is circular in section to allow the plate to articulate with it. The 'King's Head' clasp has a dark green patina. It is 27.3mm long, 15.2mm wide and 4.7mm thick. It weighs 2.41gm. Very similar examples can be seen in Whitehead (2003) on pages 42 and 43. They date from 1300 - 1400.
