The object is oval in form and rectangular in cross section. It has an incomplete rectangular projection at one end, which would have been curved at the end to form a hook. This sits above a slight collar with an incised line below it. There is a small triangular projection with a circular hole at each side, just below this. Opposing the rectangular projection is the remains of a circular attachment loop.Compare number 635 - 637 on page 169 of Read's Hooked Clasps and Eyes (2008) 1550-1700AD.
