Description: | A cast copper alloy late medieval / post-medieval clasp, probably a book clasp. The clasp consists of a sub-rectangular plate with two small idents on each of the longest side before scrolling into a rounded terminal with small point on the short end. There is a rounded hinge cage on the top side of the clasp while underneath are two rounded studs for attaching the clasp to leather. The clasp would have had a sister clasp which then together would have formed a hinge mechanism. c. 17th to 18th Century AD.
