Description: | A fragment of cast, copper-alloy toggle clasp of early post-Medieval date, probably from a sword belt, Read type 1. The object consists of the hooked end of the toggle section of the clasp. From the sub-rectangular hook, the body of the toggle widens into two, opposing, rectangular knops. There is a moulded, transverse groove from the tip of one knop to the other. Below the knops, the body of the toggle narrows again to where the fragment is broken across a bifurcated section, part of an original openwork design. The whole object is tinned or silvered.
