Scope note
Clasps, often richly ornamented, used for various purposes. They are often in the form of a hook sewn to one side of a garment or armor, to be attached to a loop or ring sewn on the other side. Also, an agrafe may be a pin or badge worn -- often on a hat -- in recognition of a pilgrimage to a sacred site.
