Description: | A post-medieval copper-alloy probable dress fastener formed of a pair folded sheets connected by a loop. The sheet plates are expanded at the attachment end to take rivets at the corners which connect them. They then curve in to waists 11.8mm wide. There are further lateral expansions before the loop, slightly narrower than those at the attachment end. The loop is integral to both plates, starting at one side of one and curving round and down to the other side of the other. It has been bent upwards as a result of old damage. One of the adjacent side protrusions has been abraded on one plate. The object is a reddish colour overall with patches of off-white corrosion product.
