Closures:
Two fore-edge clasps originally hinging from the front board and catching on the back (during rebacking the boards were reversed). Catch plates with three crowns stamped into the metal and one strap plate (with ornamentally flattened brass tube rivets) extant. Seven corner bosses with edge guards, (all with worn away half-dome dimples) encircled with chased annular dots around the dome; the borders were engraved with 'walking' lines. Only one center plate boss is extant with engraved 'walking lines'. All the rivets were cut brass nails. Evidence of brass edge strips parallel to the spine are now missing and the rivet holes are covered with leather patches, but are visible on the inside of the boards. The straps were single layers of tanned leather with no vellum reinforcement.
