Description: | A small, complete, woman's dress clasp, with pin, dating to the late 18th century AD. The outer surface is decorated with a stamped design of raised ovals interspersed with raised ridges, to imitate gems in a setting; the reverse surface is flat and undecorated. The pin is wrapped simply around a break in the raise decorative pattern of the brooch frame, allowing for free movement but fixing the pin in place upon the frame. One of the raised decorative 'settings' is stamped with the silver makers initials 'ER', but no official makers mark is present.Measurements: frame: 20.87 mm long, 18.50 mm wide, 1.92 mm thick; pin: 21.44 mm long, 2.3 mm wide; 1.09 mm thick; the complete brooch weighs 2.66 grams.The find dates to later than 1712 and as such falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.
