Description: | A Post Medieval iron lock hasp dating AD c.1500 - 1600. The hasp consists of two plates which hinge together using a 2//1 pin pivoted hinge. narrows to the middle then expands again and narrows to an upswept end loop. One of the plates is incomplete and the end is broken and missing. The surviving plate narrows from the hinge before expanding into a lozenge shape before terminating with a recurved hook. There is a rectangular hasp loop projecting from the centre of the lozenge-shaped section. This is secured with two rivets. There is a rivet hole in the incomplete plate for attaching this lock hasp to the chest or similar.Two similar examples are published in Egan (2005:76 no 327) which are very similar in form but the shape of the main plates are differ slightly. Egan suggests that these published hasps were probably from a door or other major opening or a chest. One of the examples is dated 1500 - 1550 and the other 1575 - 1600.Dimensions: length: 125.66mm; width: 39.31mm; thickness: 9.40mm; weight: 102.10g.Reference: Egan, G. 2005.
