Description: | An incomplete copper alloy post-medieval (AD c.1500-1650) hooked clasp, missing its loop and hook. The clasp falls into Read's Class E, Type 3: circular/sub-circular single sharp-hooked clasps. Similar hooked clasps can be found in Read, 2008, Hooked-Clasps & Eyes, p.99, no.370. Overall, it measures 17.0mm long, 15.9mm wide and 1.6mm thick. It weighs 1.25g. The decoration is moulded-relief and takes the form of an equal armed cross with a central pellet and four circular recesses in each angle (possibly unfettled openwork circles) all within a linear circle. The edge is worn but appears to have been beaded and engrailed.
