Title
Medieval book fitting
Description
English: A small cast, copper-alloy, book clasp of late medieval to post-medieval date (c. AD 1450 - 1800). Formed of a small triangular plate with two rolled projections which hold a bar. Sections of the bar remain within them, patches of corrosion suggest that the bar was iron. The sides of the clasp curve into a narrow neck which tapers up from the plate, before widening out slightly to form a rounded end. At this end is a small circular indentation which may be evidence of a perforation, as on the under side of the clasp is a small stud. Some recorded clasps have remnants of studs corroded into these perforations. The clasp is thin in section, and undecorated. May fall into Howsam Type A.6.
