Description: | Post-medieval copper alloy hooked booked clasp, very similar in form and engraved decoration to an example from Norwich (Margeson 1983, fig. 40, no. 454). This present clasp, however, is attached to a sheet backplate by three rivets, one near to the hook which holds the two pieces tightly together, and the others, which would have also secured the strap, near the terminal. Next to these two there are three small decorative holes. Length 45.7mm. Width at the terminal 17mm, at the mid-point 8.5mm. Length of backplate 35mm. 16th century.Field CH | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
