A single view of a Post Medieval book clasp. |
||
Description |
English: The object is a possibly Post Medieval book clasp. Margeson (Margeson, S. 1993 Norwich Households: Medieval and Post Medieval Finds From Norwich Survey, Excavations 1971-78. East Anglian Archaeology 58) illustrates a similar example, No. 452 and dates this to the 16th century. The clasp is made from cast copper alloy. The clasp is a rectangle in plan. One terminal has its corners flaring outwards. The opposite terminal has a central, integral trapezoid protrusion, which would originally have formed the hook of the clasp. There are two rivet holes on the clasp, both have remains of iron rivets. Between the rivet holes there is stamped decoration with a central flower and four sub-oval shaped outlines around the flower. The surface of the clasp has red copper corrosion.The clasp measures 33.82mm long and 18.37mm wide. It weighs 2.9g. |
