Description: | A flat cast silver fitting with three rivet holes and a small 10mm long tab folded back to make a blunt hook. The front face of the fitting is decorated with incised foliate designs. No exact parallels have been found so far. Read (Hooked-Clasps & Eyes, 2008, p165) considers these blunt hooked clasps & eyes were in use as clothing fastenings throughout the 17th century.
