Description
English: Sheet copper alloy book clasp, length 32mm, width 12mm, thickness >1mm, weight 2.42g. This example is rectangular in plan, the attachment end is expanded with two V-shaped notches at the terminal. The forward edge is narrowed and bent round to form a hook. There is a single rivet hole towards the attachment end which is surrounded by two concentric circles. Further decoration comprises of a flower with scrollwork either side held within a double linear border, behind which is a V-shape in the centre.

The artefact is in a poor condition, suffering heavily from corrosion that has striped away the original surface leaving a dark brown-pitted layer.

Artefacts such as this have been discovered in excavations and have been found to predominately date to the 15th and 16th centuries such as the examples discovered in the York excavations (Ottaway & Rogers, 2002, 2937-2939
