Description: | Book clasp in the form of a strap-end of folded sheet secured by a single rivet. There are two V-shaped notches at the attachment edge. Both sides are indented along most of their lengths by a long chamfer and are marked by a small notch before they turn in to a hollow boss. A transverse loop is formed by the fold at the outside edge, and there is a round perforation on the reverse of the boss. Length 26.5mm. Width 11.5mm. A cheap version of the more common folding type of the late 14th and 15th centuries (Medieval Household 277-80).
