Title
Anglo-Saxon wrist-clasp
Description
English: Clasp-half from an early Anglo-Saxon wrist-clasp of Hines’s Form B20. Made from copper alloy, it would have been worn as a pair on the sleeve of a garment and served to hold the cuff closed; it was stitched on through the three circular holes in the projecting lugs.

The clasp is roughly rectangular in shape. The front edge is decorated with an alternating pattern of broad transverse flutes and groups of three transverse ridges; there are seven of each. The rest of the clasp-half is largely taken up with a longitudinal row of tiny relief lozenge shapes, flanked on either side by a double longitudinal groove. The rear edge has three rounded projecting lugs, each with a circular sewing hole. The reverse is undecorated, but has evidence of tinning or silvering. The clasp weighs 3.56g and measures 27.49mm in length, 11.61mm in width and 2.37mm in thickness. It dates to the late fifth or sixth century.
