Description: | A Medieval copper alloy strap clasp comprising frame and clasp but missing the plate. It dates form the late 14th century.The frame has convex sides and recessed straight ends, with a transverse ridge near each corner on the outer face of the sides. The outer edge of the frame retains a folding (or rotating) sheet clasp in situ. One end is wrapped around the bar. On the top of the clasp is a simple rectangular bar mount with D-shaped cross section, held in place by a separate circular sectioned copper alloy rivet in the centre.Similar clasps can be found illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 118; fig. 77); they are dated to the second half of the fourteenth century. Compare also SOM-065B98.
