Description: | Half of a post-medieval copper alloy shoe or clog clasp, sub-rectangular with shaped sides, each side being double-convex between two small rectangular projections and having three further small projections in the central, waisted section. There is a short, bent broken rectangular projection at one end, and a bent, T-shaped projection with convex upper edge at the other end. The face of the clasp is decorated with two stamped Maltese crosses, the arms of which carry a pattern of parallel lines. Shoe and clog clasps are usually dated to the end of the eighteenth and nineteenth century; See Read (1988), pp.178-9, but this one may be earlier as it has parallels with one dated 1699 which can be seen on the database at reference NMS-343C46.
