Description: | Oval catch-piece from a hooked dress fastener. In the centre of the long sides are two pierced, rounded, knopped lugs for sewing the fastener to the clothing. At one short end is a third, now broken. At the other short end is a wide rectangular loop into which a corresponding hook would have fitted. There is a ridge on one face between the oval plate and the rectangular loop. Both faces, front and back, are covered with white-metal coating, but neither appear to have the normal engraved decoration. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1600
