Copper alloy Clasp. Fragment of an oval sheet metal object with a projecting lug at one end; the lug has been folded backwards. A central rectangular slot has been cut in the sheet.

Both the slot, which appears functional, and the decorative detail, appear to have been added to a plainer or reused object. Kate Roe kindly suggests an alternative identification as an improvised girdle hanger, which is apt to the period - this fragment could come from either end of such an obje…
