Description: | A cast copper-alloy dress hook or hooked tag. The main body of the hook is heart-shaped and comprises of two plates; the back-plate being flat and undecorated and the front being domed with embossed decoration of foliate & scrolled design around a central lonzenge containing a pellet. The upper plate is damaged along one side. There are two holes through the main body of the heart which would have been used for stitching the hook to clothing. The tapered hook is soldered to the underside of the heart so that the hook appears to project from the pointed end.
