Title
Book fitting (clasp)
Description
English: A copper-alloy mount: probably a post-medieval book fitting (hook piece) dating from the 17th century. The book fitting is undecorated on both obverse and reverse. It is of roughly geometrical shape, a diamond with a rectangular bar on the left and right. The hook is damaged and no longer curved. On the opposite side two small flat-headed rivets remain which would have attached the fitting to the leather cover of a book.


Many similar fittings have been recorded on this database, including PAS-8CA942, BERK-B35722; GLO-F54B74. Read (1995, 81; no. 486) publishes a further example, dated to the 17th century.
