Title
Early-medieval catch or clasp
Description
English: Tiny copper-alloy clasp, probably from a bag or box. It consists of a bar 2.5 mm wide, D-shaped in cross-section, decorated with unevenly spaced transverse grooves, with flattened circular terminals 4 mm across. One terminal is pierced, and probably revolved around a peg; the other is also pierced, but has a section of the circumference near the bar cut out to make a hook. This probably engaged with a second peg on the bag/box lid or body to fasten it. These objects are found occasionally in graves of the seventh or early eighth century AD but are exceptionally rare metal-detector finds. Compare SF150.
