Description: | Only a fragment of the dress fastening remains, and this is largely the hook. The hook is sub-rectangular in section and is curved, almost forming a circle. Whether it is meant to be this curved is unsure, instead it maybe damaged. The hook has also been twisted slightly so the hook is no longer perpendicular to the body of the fastening, which presumably it was originally.
The body of the fastening is fragmenary and is integral to the hook. In plan the body is sub-oval shape, however all the edges are broken and abraded. No fixing point remains. The upper surface of the body is slightly domed with radiate grooves as decoration.
The surface ofthe fastening has lost its patina and is corroded. | 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
