Title
Post-medieval to modern S-shaped clothing fastener
Description
English: A copper-alloy s-shaped belt fastener of probable 17th to 19th century AD date.

The object is slightly bent but has little wear or corrosion. It is three-dimensional, each hooked end taking the form of the neck and head of a bird, probably a swan. A central band which passes around the object separates the two animals. Each half of this band has a groove with a central raised pellet and two raised lozenges; this is bordered on each side by a raised ridge. Moulded leaves protrude from either side of the central band. The upper two thirds of the swan's necks are covered with moulded feathers. Longer feathers adorn the top of the head, and the facial features are clearly moulded.

The artefact measures 47.6mm long, 40.1mm wide and 6.9mm thick. The weight is 18.08g.
