Description: | Two hooked copper alloy sheet objects. Probably intended for use as dress or jewellery fasteners (c.f. Margeson 1993, 19 no. 80 and 81) although these published examples consist either of a double-hooked sheet or a decorative sheet riveted onto a double hook. One (5039/22) is more complete and consists of a crudely cut oval of copper alloy sheet with a triangular hook extending from it with the hook pointing to the reverse. This object is pierced with a circular hole at the end opposite the hook and is centrally pierced by a short rectangular strip of copper alloy flattened on the reverse to create a fastening. It is decorated on the upper surface with a V-shaped design consisting of four rows of dotted lines on each side of the V. The other, (5039/23) is very similar to the above but lacks the central rectangular fastening. It is also pierced in the upper part by a circular hole but in this case a copper alloy rivet remains in the hole. The triangular hook is longer and broader. The decorative motif is similar although the four lines on each side of the V are separated into more distinct groups of two, perhaps suggesting a double leaf motif. Part of the edge of this object is missing.
