Description: | Copper alloy possible havette or shearman's clip. A billet of sheet metal pointed at either end, with an off-centre fold and further signs of folding towards either end. If used as suggested, this probably homemade object would have secured the edge of a [necessarily] light cloth in the later course of its finishing. An alternative function as a repair clip for a wooden vessel might also be entertained. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1800.Length (as found): 36.1mm, Width: 10.3mm, Thickness: 1mm, Weight: 1.80gms
