Description: | A Post Medieval silver gilt dress hook (16th century). Curator's report: Large silver-gilt dress hook, lozenge shaped with pinked back plate and recurving hook and bar attachment soldered to the reverse. Front with built-up central cushion of lozenge shape decorated with applied filigree spirals and knops around a central knop. Not gilded. Good condition. Lozenge-shaped dress hooks of flatter appearance are fairly commonly reported through the Treasure Act, as are ones with cushion-like centres as here. 16th Century. As such, due to its age and precious metal content, this object qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996. Dr Dora Thornton, Curator of Renaissance Collections The British Museum Dimensions: length: 30.16mm; width: 23.15mm; thickness: 12.39mm; weight: 6.15g
