Description: | A cast copper alloy dress fastener hook-piece of probable seventeenth century date. The fastener measures 36.3mm by 15.8mm by 2.6mm and weighs 3.2g. It has an oval plate with a trapezoidal loop at one end. At the other end there is a small incomplete projecting circular loop and there were originally two further circular loops on each side of the plate adjacent to the trapezoidal hook, although one of these is incomplete. The small holes may have been used for attachment to cloth. The front of the plate has faint moulded floriate decoration and the back in slightly concave.
