Description: | Copper alloy clasp. Cast hook element from a pair of clasps of Read Class A Type 8 (cf. Read 2008 no. 664). A cast oval plate with low knops on either side, three attachment knops, each with an aperture of diameter 2.4mm, and a rectangular loop between two of them. A decorative three-part pattern of vaguely floral appearance is framed by an oval ring of small pellets between more prominent raised rims. Teresa Gilmore kindly corrects an initial identification by this reporter, suggesting the term dress hook to be more apt than clasp. Slightly bent. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1675.Length (as found): 34.0mm, Width: 21.5mm, Thickness: 1.6mm, Weight: 5.13gms.
