Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy one-piece clothes hook, missing the hook, but with attachment loop at the other end so that it could be sewn onto clothes to be used as hook and eye clasp instead of a button. There are two apertures of openwork below the rectangular attachment loop. The moulded decoration consists of a spray of three small flowers whose stalks radiate from a pellet near the loop.
Read (2008) illustrates a similar example on page 100, No.375 which is dated to the early Post-medieval period and is recorded as Class E, Type 3.
Bailey (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 96, Fig.12.21, which is dated to the 16th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
