Title
Early medieval sleeve clasp; eye plate
Description
English: Early medieval wrist clasp; cast copper alloy wrist clasp ‘eye’ plate of probable 6th century date. The clasp consists of a broad rectangular plate with a rectangular loop extending from the centre of one edge. This loop would have received the hook from the corresponding ‘hook’ plate in order to fasten the garment to which the clasps were attached. The other edge of the plate has a semi-circular loop at one end and the remains of what would presumably have been a similar loop at the other end. These loops would be the stitching holes for fixing the clasp to the garment. There is also a decorative lobe extending from the centre of the side of the plate, opposite the ‘eye’ loop. The only other extant decoration is in the form of a raised rectangular moulding in the centre of the plate and similar, though less prominent, mouldings at either end of the plate. The whole has a thick, tactile, grey-green patina over its surface.

Length 33.2mm, width 21.8mm, thickness 2.3mm, weight 5.08g
