Description: | A post-medieval clothing fastener cast in copper alloy (c. 1750 - c. 1810 AD). The fastener is made up of a central circular element (Dia.: 19.95mm), at one end of which is a rectangular attachment loop and at the other end of which is a perpendicular circular attachment loop (internal dia.: 4.8mm). The rectangular loop is steeply bevelled on its upper surface and has been very slightly bent in profile. The main element of the fastener is concave in the centre of the lower surface. On the upper surface a lion's head is moulded in relief. The eyes, nose, mouth and mane are all moulded, with incisions picking out the fur on the mane. Traces of gilding remain all over the object, with some green corrosion product in places.
