Description: | A folding strap clasp frame made of cast copper alloy. The clasp frame is atrapezoidal in plan, which is sub-rectangular in section. The longer edge is slightly in-set and wider in plan than the bar opposite and the sides. The frame has a mid green patina. The clasp measures 16.11mm long, 19.58mm wide and weighs 1.3g. In Egan and Pritchard (Egan G. and Pritchard F. 2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press) there are similar clasps, particularly No. 552 which Egan and Pritchard date to the late 13th to early 15th centuries. There isn't quite a trapezoidal clasp so there is a possibility it is a buckle frame instead.
