Title
Early medieval wrist clasp, front
Description
English: Copper alloy wrist clasp dating to the Early Medieval period. Wrist-clasps were thought to be used as pairs for fastening clothing at the sleeve and are often found in women's graves. They became common during the 6th century. This example comprises a flat rectangular plate with three triangles, each with a round end, protruding from one side. The other side of the rectangular plate has a small rectangular protrusion which would have formed part of the clasp to hook around a corresponding slot in the other clasp. There is gilded linear decoration on the surface of the clasp. The clasp weighs 2.9g and measures 21.9mm in length, 21.6mm in width and 1.9mm in thickness.
