A worn and incomplete hook-piece from an early Anglo-Saxon wrist-clasp of Hines’s Form B13. It now consists of a copper-alloy plate only, and is rectangular in shape, measuring 34.13mm in length and 12.41mm in width. The rear edge is now very worn, and therefore incomplete, as is the hook, which projects from the centre of the front of the plate, measuring 13.22mm by 3.1mm in size. Despite its wear the rear edge does not appear to have been shaped, and was probably originally straight, as it is now. There are two circular perforations, both incomplete due to wear, which are at ei…
