Add to album

This enamelled hasp was found in the bank of Beck's Burn near Wauchope Castle at Langholm in Dumfriesshire. The hasp was made in Limoges in the 13th century and was probably fitted to a chest.

The hasp consists of two parts joined by a hinge. The larger part is shaped like a dragon with a twisted tail, terminating in another dragon's head. The other part is in the shape of one dragon coming out of the mouth of another.
