Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
Copper alloy sleeve clasp. Cast sub-rectangular hook plate with intermittently horizontally ribbed outer zone with a sub-rectangular tab brazed to the underside to serve as a hook, and a projecting inner edge of a central triangular projection flanked by paired sub-circular elements with central pits from which spring the stubs of attachment loops. Possibly Hines Form B16 – though that type is said to be plain, this object appears to meet its defining criteria of one-piece construction and a decorative inner edge. An apparent pair with NLM-209863. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 500-550
Length: 37.7mm, Width: 14.5mm, Thickness: 1.8mm, Weight: 4.57gms
