Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy folding strap clasp dating to the medieval period. The clasp is broadly rectangular in plan with one small V-shaped tooth surviving on the inner frame. Part of the locking sheet remains wrapped around one of the outer bars. The complete object would have been secured to a strap by a rivet through an adjoined plate, which is now missing. Circa AD 1250-1450. See Egan & Pritchard (2002) 116-120.
