Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy folding strap clasp of Medieval date. Part of the sheet copper-alloy rotating end is preserved, the remainder of the clasp now missing due to old breaks. The surviving part of the rotating end is flat and rectangular in form. On the front face there is a separately cast copper-alloy bar mount that is rectangular in form and profile with curved front face and held in place by a single central cylindrical rivet with flattened circular head. The entire object measures 7.32mm in length, 11.35mm in width, 2.82mm in thickness, and weighs 0.88g. 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 |
