Description: | Description: A complete silver shoe or clog clasp of late post-medieval to modern date. The clasp is sub-rectangular in plan with one rounded end and one straight end from which an integral curved hook with pelta shaped terminal projects. The upper surface of the clasp is decorated with a border of parallel incised lines and has three, sub-rectangular perforations. The profile of the object is slightly curved and the reverse is undecorated.Discussion:While this object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal and would therefore qualify as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996, it is under 300 years old and so does not meet the necessary criteria in terms of age.
