Description: | An incomplete, post-Medieval, sheet copper-alloy, book clasp consisting of a rectangular plate terminating at one end in a narrowed, backward-curved hook. The upper end of the plate terminates with a straight edge. In the centre of the plate, below the upper edge, there is a drilled, circular rivet hole with an engraved, sunburst design around it. The remains of the iron rivet are in-situ. The front of the plate is decorated with a series of engraved, transverse lines made up of annulets and wavy lines enclosing a motif of a crown within a three-arched stressure. The reverse is undecorated.
