Description: | Copper alloy strap clasp dating to the late 13th or 14th century AD. The sides of the rectangular frame are slightly curved and the ends of the frame are narrowed to accommodate the rotating (or 'folding') end and plate respectively. The plate is recessed to fit the frame and would have been secured by a single rivet near the end, part of the hole of which remains.. The length is 40mm, width 9mm, thickness 2mm and the weight is 2g. These fasteners can be decorated, but this example is not. It can be paralleled by Whitehead 2003, 40, no 228.
