Chunky copper-alloy bar from an early Anglo-Saxon wrist-clasp, apparently of Hines Form B10 or possibly alternatively B4. The bar is cast in one piece, with three cuboidal elements, one in the centre and one at either end. These are linked by D-section areas, each one decorated with two broad U-section transverse grooves or flutes, alternating with three ridges each flanked by narrow grooves. Each of the cuboidal bosses has a substantial white-metal coating, probably of tin. On the flat reverse there are two broken pierced lugs, set transversely and pierced longitudinally. Length 40.3…

It is largely flat, and cast in one piece, with a raised, flat-topped bar, a plate with shaped rear edge, and a complete loop. The bar is c. 6mm wide and has two zones of transverse groove decoration, not perfectly evenly spaced along its length; both consist of a wider U-section groove flanked by two similar slightly narrower grooves. The rear edge of the bar has a longitudinal step intermediate in height between the bar and the rest of the plate. The rear edge of the plate is flatte…

Copper alloy possible sleeve clasp fragment, as kindly suggested by Dave Haldenby. A fragment of a cast bar with an inner scalloped edge bearing two drilled holes and an outer straight edge bearing chip carved texture on its display side only; cf. Hines Form B20. As a sleeve clasp, this would be a chunky example whose stitched attachment might appear clumsy due to its thickness.
