Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy folding strap clasp of Medieval date. Only the sheet copper-alloy rotating end is preserved, the remainder of the clasp now missing due to old breaks. The rotating end is rectangular in form, folded at one end to form a circular aperture where it would have originally hinged around the bar of the frame. On the front face there is a separately cast copper-alloy bar mount that is rectangular in form, curved in profile and held in place by a single central cylindrical rivet with flattened circular head. The entire object measures 11.39mm in length, 11.69mm in width, 1.93mm in thickness, and weighs 0.78g. It finds parallels in examples from London (for example Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 555-556) and dates to the Medieval period, c.14th century AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
