Description: | Post Medieval cast copper alloy dress hook. There is a trapezoid shaped loop attached to the central body. The body has a central heart motif, bordered by a decorative loop. The loop is decorated with alternating rosettes and triangles. The top of the heart is joined to the attachment loop, and the lower tip of the heart is attached to the hook. The surface has been silvered, however the extent to which the silvering survives is unknown. The hook is approximately 12mm long and 10mm wide.
The hook was originally referenced to Bailey 1995, p30 no3. This appears to have an openwork loop in the form of a heart. However the sketch of this hook suggest a seperate heart motif within a circular loop, similar to SWYOR-9095B4. Due to the original recording conditions the exact shape is undetermined. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hobbs, Richard - British Museum | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
