Title
Copper alloy belt plate or mount
Description
English: Fragment of an early post-medieval copper-alloy book-clasp. The fragment is thin, flat and approximately rectangular with slightly flared edges at one end. At this end, there are two rows of circular perforations; one of two perforations, the other of three. The clasp is also decorated here with a series of diagonal and vertical grooves. The underside is undecorated. The clasp has a brownish patina, characteristic of later medieval and post-medieval finds. It measures 47mm in length and has a maximum width of 23mm. These clasps were attached to a strap which held the two covers of the book together.
