Description: | An extremely worn and corroded late 18th to 19th century copper alloy possible shoe/clog clasp. It measures 26.74x11.90x3.54 and weighs 0.9g.The sheet copper alloy is 1.06mm thick and the plate parallel-sided (c.17.7mm), expanding at the end opposite to the hook 11.89mm. Just behind this is a corroded but still in situ (apparent on the reverse) iron rivet. The hook is 3.80mm wide. The book fitting is extremely worn and there may be slight evidence of decoration, two horizontal lines of a zigzag pattern towards the hook end, but it is very faint. It now remains a light red-brown colour with areas of corrosion. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
