Description: | Distorted and incomplete post-medieval copper alloy hooked book clasp, the terminal opposite the hook missing. The straight sides run parallel, and one has begun to flare just before the break. There is one rivet near the hook within an area decorated with closely spaced fine grooves. Other decoration comprises a punched triple concentric ring around a dot which has perforated the metal, linked by further fine grooves to two punched ring-and-dots nearer the missing end, again with dots as holes. Extant length 50mm. Width 25mm. 16th century. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
