Description: | A cast copper alloy dress fastener of probable seventeenth century date. It is the hook piece of a hook and eye clasp. The flat oval hook-piece measures 36.5mm x 27.9mm x 2.2mm, weighing 6.59g.. At one end is a wide hook which curves up and forwards. Part way along each side there is a small attachment loop projecting to the side. The end is circular with another projecting external loop. The front of the plate is decorated with an incised fleur de lys surrounded by annulets. The hook-piece would have had a corresponding catch-piece. It is very similar to SOM-103EF2, SOM-66AE51 and SOM-E0FF65.
