Description: | Stamped copper alloy clothes fastener with three trefoil knops, one on each side of the fastener, and the third at the opposite end to the attachment loop, with its rectangular aperture for the eyelet. The upper face is decorated with a central stem and flower head, with foliage either side, in the form of a large leaf. This is the eyelet half of a hook-and-eyelet dress fastener.Bailey (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 100, Fig.2.42, which is dated to the 17th century.
