Description: | A virtually complete copper-alloy clog or shoe clasp of late post-medieval date (AD c. 1790 - c. 1850). The clasp is sub-rectangular in plan with an integral 'anchor'-shaped hook on the lower surface, abraded at one tip. At the opposite end the attachment hook has been broken off. The main body is formed of three groups of transverse bars, one centrally and one at each end, with recessed V-shaped protrusions between the. Each bar is decorated with two transverse grooves which thus create three ridges. These travel the length of each bar with the exception of that at the centre which has a central perforation. There is a similar hole in each of the V-shaped protrusions. The clasp is curved in profile. Where it survives the patina is mid green in colour over a red/brown metal. There are some patches of lighter green corrosion product in places. This clasp is more solid and more crudely moulded than most shoe or clog clasps, but its form and hook are consistent with this object type.
