Description: | An incomplete and very worn copper-alloy Medieval folding strap clasp. It has a rectangular frame with slightly convex sides that have single vertical ribs at each end. The outer edge of the frame is narrowed and has the remains of an incomplete copper-alloy roller or folding clasp of uncertain form. At the opposite end is a narrowed bar that holds in place the corroded and incomplete remains of a rectangular plate with rectangular frame recesses. All surfaces are worn and have signs of active copper-alloy corrosion. It measures 13.09mm in width, 15.91mm in length (at frame; 23.78mm including incomplete plate), 3.39mm in thickness, and 1.51g in weight. This is an incomplete folding strap clasp similar to examples published from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 551-559) and is of c.14th century AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
