Description: | A medieval copper-alloy strap clasp frame of crude zoomorphic type (zoomorphic variant). The clasp frame is sub-rectangular in plan and rectangular in cross-section, except for the outer edge which as an inverted U-shaped cross-section. The strap bar is recessed both above and below. The outer edge is recessed as well, with two steps: the first to a trapezoidal zone, and then to the edge itself which is formed of a central triangular protrusion, larger than two further triangular protrusions that flank it on either side. Apart from this moulding the outer edge is not embellished. The reverse of the outer edge is curved and recessed.The patina is a dark-grey/green, though largely covered in lighter corrosion product. It measures 25.0mm by 15.1mm by 4.0mm and weighs 3.15g. A similar clasp can be found ilustrated in Egan (2007, 107; no. 904).
