Description: | Post medieval tri-lobed hooked composite dress fastener. Convex front consists of three hemispherical lobes, which are attached to the sheet backplate probably by solder, and are decorated with foliar motifs in repouss?? pseudo-filigree. An empty central hole, which would have held a separate boss, is surrounded by a repouss?? sexfoil. All of edge of backplate is scalloped. Distorted hook and attachment loop are secured into backplate. Length (without hook) and width 21mm. Thickness without loop 4mm. Loop internal width 12mm. A cheap copy of a common form of silver dress-hook (Gaimster et al. 2002 nos.1, 2, 4 and 5). The decoration is very different from the normal, which consists of annulets and circles. A small piece of organic material, apparently very fine textile, remains within the loop. 16th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bales, Ellen - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
