Description: | A complete cast copper alloy clog or shoe clasp, with copper alloy rivet of Late Post-Medieval or Modern date (c. AD 1790 - c. AD 1930). The clasp is sub-rectangular in plan, with broadly parallel sides, it is rectangular in section, with a concave profile. The clasp exhibits one sub-circular end (bulbous) and one rectangular end. At the change between shapes, a triangular project is present. The rectangular end exhibits three perforations (holes) located in the approximate centre of the clasp. A rolled copper alloy rivet, present at the bulbous terminal, would have formed the fixed attachment to the clog.The front of the clasp is decorated by a regularly spaced 'ring and dot' design. The reverse (underside) of the clasp is plain and undecorated.The clasp is a dark reddish brown colour. There are traces of an even green surface patina but the majority of it has been lost through abrasion.It measures 36.21mm in length, 20.58mm wide and 5.19mm high. The metal is 1.34mm thick. It weighs 5.0 grams.Thirteen similar examples have been recorded on the database including CORN-376EB7, CORN-375433, IOW-52F5A4, IOW-FA3FF6, although none are exactly the same as this example.
