Description: | A cast copper alloy S-shaped clasp. The clasp is molded with a central knopped band from which extend the necks of two dragons rising out of mulded leaves on each side, forming an S shape. The heads are fairly crudely molded and the casting line is clearly visible along the edges of the object. Read (2008) illustrates a similar fitting (see page 230, item 822) and he identifies it as a possible fitting from a sword belt, dating from around the mid-16th to early-17th century.
