Title
2264 Sheet copper alloy book clasp.JPG
Description
English: Sheet copper alloy book clasp, length 41mm, width 13mm, thickness >1mm, weight 2.94g. This example is rectangular in plan, the base is expanded with three triangular notches at the terminal. The forward edge is narrowed and bent round to form a hook. There are two rivet holes, one in front of the other. The artefact is in a poor condition, suffering heavily from corrosion that has striped away the original surface leaving a dark brown-pitted layer. Artefacts such as this have been discovered in excavations and have been found to predominately date to the 15th and 16th centuries such as the examples discovered in the York excavations (Ottaway & Rogers, 2002, 2937-2939)
Depicted place (County of findspot) South Gloucestershire
Date between 1400 and 1600
