Clasps
This category includes objects used to fasten clothing together.
Clasps come in many forms based on the clothing worn. Most of these clasps are found near the shoulders, illustrating clothing that was attached there. Other clasps are found at the waist. The size/shape of the clasps are not based on their placement. They can be straight like pins, or curved like fibula. They are made of metal and can have beads attached as a decoration.
