Description: | A folding Medieval copper alloy strap clasp with an integral spacer. The oval frame has an integral forked spacer projecting from one end, and an offset bar at the other. The sheet plates that would have fixed onto the spacer are missing. The sheet folding end is wrapped round the bar. A smaller sheet cut into a quatrefoil shape is mounted on the top of the folding end. There are file marks visible on the spacer and the frame. The clasp has a dark green patina. Similar examples are HAMP-900BB4 and NMS-EB7F67 which cite further references. It dates from the 13th, 14th or 15th century.
