Description: | An incomplete, worn and corroded cast copper-alloy early post-medieval toggle clasp. The main body of the clasp is a convex oval shape, with a transverse ridge at one end dividing the main body from a small rounded element with terminal knop. This latter retains traces of a rivet, with orange corrosion product on both faces suggesting the rivet was made of iron. A similar rivet hole with orange corrosion is visible in the main oval body but the artefact has broken at this point. This artefact is similar to early post-medieval toggle clasp type 7 in Read (2008, 210-211; 763 and 764), and to HAMP-730E97 on this database. It is heavily corroded in places with a light-green and off-white colour; some patches of dark-green patina survive.
