Description: | Post Medieval copper alloy dress hook, 40mm long, 22mm wide and 1.5mm thick. The object is in fair condition with a brown patina and weighs 3.89 grams. It is flat and consists of an oval shield which has two circular fixing loops, 3mm in diameter, sitting on either side of a rectangular fixing loop, 12mm wide and 8mm deep. at the opposite end are the remains of a third fixing loop which has snapped. The shield is decorated with the Arms of St George with a raised cross in its centre flanked on the left by a palm border and the right by a laureal wreath. The loops suggests that it is part of a hook and eye style fastener. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
