Description: | Cut and stamped sheet copper alloy shoe or clog clasp, which would have been used with a similar hasp to secure a wooden shoe to the foot. The hooked end of the clasp would have attached to a rectangular slot in the corresponding hasp, to secure the wooden shoe to the foot. The opposite end, shaped like an anchor, was used to secure the clasp to the fabric, and the opposite hasp would have also had an anchor terminal to do the same. The outer face of the clasp has been stamped with a rosette within an ogival border, but the surface is too worn to make out any detail.Bailey (1992) illustrates similar examples with floral motifs on page 14, nos.4 & 7, which are dated from the 18th to the 19th century.
