Description: | Oval catch-piece from a hooked dress fastener. In the centre of the long sides are two pierced, rounded, knopped lugs for sewing the fastener to the clothing. At one short end is a third, now broken. At the other short end is a wide rectangular loop into which a corresponding hook would have fitted. There is a ridge on one face between the oval plate and the rectangular loop. Both faces, front and back, are covered with white-metal coating, but neither appear to have the normal engraved decoration. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Geake, Helen - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
