Description |
English: An incomplete cast copper-alloy hookpiece from a Anglo-Saxon sleeve or wrist clasp of Hines Class B12 (Hines 1993, 46-49), one terminal of this hookpiece is now missing due to an old break. This hookpiece is formed of a bar alone, this bar is measures 33.8mm in surviving length and 8mm in width, the central integral hook-element is wider, measuring 12mm in width, the bar is therefore a lower case T-shape overall. The bar has one integral surviving sewing lug projecting from the surviving terminal of its rear edge, measuring 5mm in external diameter and 2.5mm in internal diameter. The bar is decorated on its front face. The surviving terminal consists of a square slightly raised panel (from which the sewing lug projects) this has two opposing parallel horizontal boarder rows of small circular indentations, these may have been ring-and-dot motifs originally but are now worn. Inbetween both the complete and missing terminals and the central hook-element the bar is decorated with two parallel transverse mouldings each with three transverse grooves across it.A very similar hookpiece has been discovered in Linton Heath, Cambridgeshire (Hines 1993, 47, fig 90, d). Clasps of this type are concentrated in and around East Anglia and are generally datable to the 6th century (Hines 1993, 46-47). |
