Description: | An incomplete copper alloy folding strap clasp of medieval date. The frame is sub-rectangular with flared sides and a narrowed and offset rectangular strap bar. The opposite end of the frame is circular in section and also narrowed which would have allowed a rotating closure plate though this element no longer remains. File marks are present on the strap and closure bars as a result of the shaping and finishing processThe metal has a mid-brownish-green patina and is worn. The clasp is 16.6mm long, 12.3mm wide, 3.9mm thick and weighs 1.4g.Similar examples are illustrated in Whitehead p.41 and are dated to circa AD 1350 - 1450.
