Description: | Copper alloy Clasp. Cast rectangular frame with separate loop for a strap. The outer edge of the frame is formed by a caricatured royal bust in relief, positioned to face along the strap. The most prominent feature is a long pointed nose; other facial features are rendered by angled cuts and a shoulders appear below the face. The finder kindly notes the similarly perfunctory treatment of a small crown may relate this piece to the series of 'King's Head' clasps. Suggested date: Medieval, 1300-1450.Length: 21.8mm, Width: 15.5mm, Thickness (at head): 6.5mm, Weight: 2.55gms.
