Medieval

I found this item about two years ago in Marlutern Germany while hunting a field. It is not modern by any means but I don't think it is roman either( could be). Maybe one of the Tnet experts could give me a clue .

Re: Medieval

No this thing is very crude, thick and heavy. Made of bronze ,I think. You can see markings that look like they would maybe have some type of meaning. I was told at one time it might be one half of a medieval book clasp but it don't look like any that I have seen. I had some one else tell me they thought it mad have had some kind of wheel in the end of it and wouldhave been used for navigation but that seems a bit unlikely .

I think it is a part of a (medieval or 16-17th cent.) book clasp !

Re: Medieval

Ah...a stap-end. I see it now

Yeap, mostly likely a Medieval strapend. Not sure why there is a hole in the end (decoration probably). If it didn't have the small slot with the rivet which held it to the leather, I would have said, a broken part of a medieval horse pendant hanger.
