Description: | A cast copper alloy dress-hook (hooked tag). The object consists of an openwork circular plate with moulded relief decoration. The design comprises seven ovals set lengthways around a ring. The ring encloses a five pointed star, with a pellet in the centre. Four small lobed knops project out from the edge; they have been arranged in a square. On the upper side of the plate there is a rectangular loop. Below the plate the remains of a hook can be seen but it has broken off and it is corroded. The surface is a mid reddish-brown colour. This artefact is 16th - 17th century in date.
