Description: | Copper alloyClasp. Cast oval loop with a smaller oval plate cast along with it. A collared housing on the latter retains a near-semicircular lug which appears to have rotated. This projection appears either to have retained or fastened a stout strap, or to have served in the suspension of an item, while the loop presumably retained another strap. It is uncertain whether the patchy survival of dark material represents patination or the remnants of a painted or lacquered coating. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1700.Length: 30.33mm, Width: 29.1mm, Height (lug): 17.1mm, Thickness (plate and loop): 3.4mm, Weight: 15.78gms.
