Description: | Incomplete silver-gilt dress-hook of Post Medieval, sixteenth century date (AD 1500 - AD 1600). Treasure Case no. BM2005 T255 (disclaimed). Length 19mm, width 16mm. Weight 2.53g.The dress-hook has a sub-triangular back-plate, cusped around the edge. The front of the back-plate supports three hemispherical bosses, each applied with filigree ornament of three circlets with a granulated knop at the centre. The bosses are separated at the centre by a circular concave plate secured by a spheroid-headed butterfly clip which passes through the centre and folds flat against the rear of the sub-triangular plate. The soldered shank of the hook is intact although the curved section is missing. Two stubs indicate the former position of the missing soldered transverse attachment bar. The attachment bar enabled the hook to be sewn to a garment. The gilding has flooded onto the rear face and the breaks are old.
