Description: | Copper alloyFolding Clasp. Cast rectangular frame with a short rectangular plate on a roller; the frame sides are thin. A further long rectangular plate is wrapped around the opposite edge of the frame. Saltire or open hatched incised decoration appears on the short plate, while a saltire of double incised lines - possibly a repeating motif though this is uncertain - and a limiting group of three vertical lines appear on the display face of the longer plate. A rivet of head diameter 2.5mm appears on the back of the longer plate, close to its end, and would presumably afforded a concealed attachment to the strap. Suggested date: Medieval, 1270-1450.Length: 34mm, Width: 12.6mm, Thickness (plates): 0.9mm, Weight: 3.41gms.
