Description: | Lozenge-shaped silver-gilt 16th century dress hook. Fine foliate decoration around the edges, with the decoration on the main body comprising 13 very fine twisted wire circles surrounding 8 tiny spheres (five of which are missing) and 5 larger raised points (four of which have broken off). (Filigree and granulated ornament). The broken sections have exposed the hollow core of the artefact. A back-plate (pierced by a single central hole), raised transverse bar and re-curved hook are soldered onto the rear. The hook has two cracks in it and has been soldered at least once.
