A late post-medieval copper-alloy hinged book clasp.
One part of the hinge is flat, measuring 30mm long, 17mm wide and 1mm thick. At the non-hinged end there is a central hole 3mm in diameter. The long sides have an undulating curved pattern. The reverse has no decoration, whereas the front has some lettering scratched in it, probably a monogram consisting of the letters WN in an 18th- or 19th-century curving script.
The other part has been bent, but was originally flat. It is 20mm long, 17mm wide and 1mm thick. It has two decorative tear- or comma-shaped holes near the hinge end, and a diamond-shaped central hole 12mm from the hinge. Just beyond this the end appears to have been broken off across two holes. It is unclear whether a hook would have existed beyond this and is now missing, or whether this is the remains of loops to hold a bar to form a catch.
Compare the very similar DUR-14A779. Also compare LEIC-ACBA86, which is still attached to another item; it is not completely clear how this would have functioned as a book clasp.

An incomplete copper-alloy book clasp of Howsam type A.1.1, and of medieval date (c. 1350-1450). The object is part of a two-piece book clasp with hinged plate and loop. The plate has been lost, though the hinge loop remains.
The main plate is sub-D-shaped with moulded linear decoration stamped with irregularly spaced annulets to the upper surface. A central circular perforation is also present. A moulded stylised zoomorphic terminal extends from the rounded edge of the main plate, at right angles to the plate itself. The forward-facing terminal has a prominent mouth, nose, brow and ears, and a circular perforation runs transversely through the the beast as an 'eye'?. Two integral loops extend from either corner to the opposite side of the main plate. The reverse of the object is flat and undecorated.
The metal has a dark green patina and is in fair condition. The object is 34mm long, 20mm wide, 4mm thick 7mm high and weighs 10.7g.
