Description: | Description: Post Medieval silver-gilt 'eye' element from a two piece hooked clasp. The fitting is circular in plan with a 'D' shaped loop extending from the upper edge. More complete examples of this type of clasp bear circular loops, probably used to sew the fitting onto an item of clothing. This example has suffered extensive breaks around the edges resulting in only a small amount of fitting surviving. The upper surface has a cast design of a forward facing bust, with small depressions to represent the eyes and mouth. The reverse of the fitting is plain.Discussion: The object is similar to previous examples reported through the Treasure process, such as 2010 T255 / ESS-F12A68, 2009T502 / ESS-205795 and 2012 T77 / ESS-FBAA23.
