Description: | A cast copper alloy Post- Medieval book clasp, incomplete due to old breaks. It is trapezoidal, with one terminal perforated for a rivet, the hole being flanked by a triangular-shaped knop on either side, and the broken, curved clasp projecting from the centre. At the opposite end there is a 'fish-tail' terminal, with another central rivet hole. There are traces of floral decoration across the upper surface of the mount, which measures 38.10mm in surviving length, 21.13mm in maximum width across the fish-tail, and weighs 5.96g. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
