Title |
book clasp (back plate) |
||
Description |
English: Sheet copper alloy book clasp with expanded bifid terminal at one end and hook at the other. The clasp also retains its shorter rectangular back-plate, though it has broken in half, and its three rivets, holding the front and back plates together, around the leather strap, now missing. The upper face of the front plate is decorated with a longitudinal incised groove that runs from the indented end, between the two sections of the expanded terminal, to about the middle of the clasp where the surface is more corroded. The opposite end near the hook is decorated with two concentric circles around a recessed pressed annulet which surrounds the rivet.
Read (1988) illustrates similar examples on page 78, Nos.445 & 449, which are dated from the 13th to the 17th century. Margeson (1993) illustrates similar book clasps on page 74, Fig.40, Nos.452-4 that were excavated from datable contexts from the Post-medieval period, c.1550-1700. |
