Description: | Copper alloy ring (25.9mm diameter, 4.6mm thick) with right-angled 'hook' (15.5mm long, 15.8mm wide). Cast as one piece, the ring is now broken.Possibly a post-medieval curtain hook. The hook has a patch of iron corrosion, perhaps suggesting that this object was fitted to iron rather than to fabric.Egan (2005) has a similar example identified as a possible curtain hook, from a context dated c1500-1550 (p70 fig59, although his example has a more definate curved hook).
