Description: | Post Medieval dress hook. Copper alloy cast in an openwork symmetrical design. It is rectangular in plan, with the hook projecting from one of the narrower sides. The opposing end to the hook is a rectangular slot for attachment. The edges of the face then curve outwards, with one circular knop each side at the position where the attachment slot joins the face. There is a central depression in each knop. The open work design created by the two knops and a small 'v' shaped projection at the hooked end is roughly tri-lobed in form. There are two moulded transverse ridges before a tri-lobed projection. The central part of this projection forms the hook, which is D shaped in cross section. The two outer projections are small and triangular. The fitting has a dull mid to dark green patina. The surface is slightly abraded, but generally in good condition. It is 24.04mm long, 9.88mm wide at the attachment end, increasing to 11.70mm just before the hook. The face is 1.39mm thick. The hook is 3.45mm wide where it joins the face, decreasing to a tip measuring 1.38mm. The curved hook gives a maximum thickness of 5.21mm. It weighs 1.44 grams.
