Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy possible strap clasp of medieval date. The clasp has a sub-trapezoidal frame with is recessed at the narrower end for the missing plate. The outer edge of the frame incurves before expanding to an integrally cast large, convex circular knop which has been incised with cross-hatching on its upper surface, opposite this is a smaller knop protruding internally. There is no further decoration on the artefact on both the front and reverse. In profile the artefact is slightly curved by design. It has a dark-grey surface with patches of off-white corrosion product, particularly at the knop.
