Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy folding strap clasp of Medieval date. It is missing the folding end due to old breaks. The frame is rectangular in form with narrowed circular bar at the attachment end, and a thicker circular bar at the folding end. The sides are slightly convex and have moulded vertical ridges. A separate sheet copper-alloy plate is folded around the attachment end. This is rectangular in form with rectangular frame recesses and a single cylindrical copper-alloy rivet at the centre of the open end. It measures 31.23mm in length, 9.26mm in width, 2.98mm in thickness, and weighs 2.08g.This folding strap clasp is similar to an example published from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: no. 554), which suggests a date in the 14th century AD for the current example. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
