Made from solid brass, these cloak clasps provide a secure attachment for any cool weather garment. With brass loops on the back, they are easy to sew onto your clothing. The deceptively simple ball and loop fastener ensures a snug fit.

Copper-alloy artifacts that resemble our clasps have been found in various parts of great Britain and are typically dated between 1000-1150 A.D. This style of art named "Urnes" after a Viking site where many pieces were found, features interlaced animals in an abstract style.

Measurements:
Length of closed clasp: 10 cm

A very similar example of a strap end can be found in the Portable Antiquities Scheme.
