Description: | A complete copper-alloy folding clasp of the medieval period. The frame, folding end and much of the plate are still in tact. The plate is of rectangular form, folded back upon itself with a single, central rivet. The attachment end of the upper section of plate is missing. The frame is trapezoidal in form, widening out toward the folding end. It is attached to the plate by way of a narrowed, offset bar. The folding end is wrapped around the frame and has an upper rectangular plate. This is decorated with crude incised lines in three boxes with crosses within. It is very similar to Egan and Pritchard (119), p. 119, no. 565. It is likely to be of fourteenth- or fifteenth-century date. It measures 44.86mm in length, 14.86mm in width, 6.25mm in thickness and weighs 6.64g. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
