Description: | A cast copper-alloy, rectangular strap-hasp with central rectangular hole. The hasp consists of a rectangular frame with the shorter sides rebated centrally on one face.Ottaway and Rogers have assigned these hasps to the late 12th century and describe them as belt hasps, held in place lengthways on the end of a narrow leather strap by a riveted sheet loop, suggesting that they were for suspension of objects from the belt.A similar clasp can be seen in Meols page 111 Fig. 2.5.5 and page 115, plate 19, no. 961.
