An unusual copper alloy sleeve clasp of Hines form B12, dating from the early Medieval period. Instead of the normal sewing loops, this example has T-shaped lugs (called 'spiggots' by Hines); one on each end and one in the centre of the long edge of the plate, opposite the rectangular loop. The unusual feature is that instead of all projecting from the rear of the clasp, one lug projects upwards from the top, another downwards from the bottom of the clasp, and only the central lug projects rearwards. It is a catch piece, consisting only of a bar, which is rectangular and is decorat…

An almost-complete copper alloy Early Anglo-Saxon sleeve clasp of Hines form B13a, with riveted bar. The object consists of a rectangular-sectioned bar which is complete. It is decorated with a row of vertical chevrons or arrows along one side of the top, and nine irregular ring and dot motifs. There is a copper alloy rivet through each end of the bar, fixing it to a piece of copper alloy sheet. The sheet appears to have been the same length as the bar, but wider. It projects on one side by the width of the bar again before what appears to be a finished edge. This projection is decora…
