Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy openwork fitting - possibly a hinge element, book fitting or clog clasp of post medieval date 1600-1800. The fitting is incomplete - it is broadly sub-rectangular in plan and curved in profile. From the upper and lower edges are rectangular projections which curve back upon themselves forming blunt hooks. The terminal of the upper projection has a T shaped end. The body of the fitting has a scroll like edges and an openwork shaped heart at the mid-point. The upper surface seems to have been tinned or silvered - although most of the applied surface is lost. The fitting is a mid green colour with an abraded surface patina. A direct parallel has not been found, although it bears some resemblance to other items on the PAS database, most closely with a clog clasp from Paul, Cornwall (CORN-DEB281).The buckle frame measures 26.7mm long, 18.3mm wide, is 1.9mm thick and weighs 3.46 grams.
