Description: | Post-medieval copper alloy strap fitting, the male or toggle part of a clasp, probably for the suspension of a chatelaine, extremely similar in both form and decoration to, but slightly larger than, an example from south Somerset (Read 2008, 209, no. 757). The single attachment hole is iron-stained. This type of object "is not sufficiently robust to support a sword belt" (de Reuck 2005, 12). 30 x 15.5mm. Thickness 1.5 - 3mm. Late 16th - early 17th century. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
