Title
hookplate from a bookclasp
Description
English: Hookplate from a book clasp made from a flat rectangular piece of copper alloy. These clasps were attached to leather straps fixed to the book and helped to hold the book shut by hooking into a corresponding catch-piece on the other side. The end of the hookplate with the rivet hole to attach the plate to a leather strap is flared. The opposite end is bent over to form a single central flat hook , 8.5 mm wide, beyond a square shaped (in plan) terminal. The upper face of the hookplate is decorated with punched pairs of lines that form a herring-bone pattern around the edge of the plate, and pairs of punched dots that form a wavy pattern down the middle of the plate and within the outlined borders of the square terminal.
