Description: | A Medieval copper-alloy folding strap clasp.A piece of folded sheet copper-alloy has been attached to the vertical outer side of the trapezoidal frame. A larger piece of sheet (now damaged) has been folded around the inner bar of the frame, creating a plate of two equal-sized, subrectangular sides, with a central strap slot between. A single copper-alloy rivet, located at the non-frame end, joins the two sides of the plate together. Both sides of this plate have been folded back towards the underside of the frame.Length: 15.5mm; width: 12.9mm; thickness: 5.8mm. Weight: 1.93g.Similar folding strap clasps were found in late 13th to early 15th century contexts in London (Egan and Pritchard 1991: 116 - 117).
