Title
Book clasp
Description
English: Later Medieval/ Post Medieval copper-alloy hooked book-clasp, probably dating from the 16th to 17th centuries. The clasp is flat and basically lozenge-shaped, with an expanded rectangular lobe to either end beyond which one end has a serrated flared terminal and the other a hook. The clasp is decorated with engraved zig zags (often known as rocker-arm or wriggle-work), and was attached by a single iron rivet in the middle of the end of the expanded terminal.
