Description: | Incomplete cast in one copper alloy dress hook. Post-medieval, sixteenth to seventeenth century. The tip of the rearward hook is broken and missing. Length 33 mm, maximum width 14mm and maximum thickness 3mm. Weight 2.48g. Heavily corroded. The dress hook has a trapezoidal attachment loop and a circular plate. The centre of the plate is convex at the front and concave on the reverse side. The edges of the circular plate are flat on both sides. The central area carried some form of decoration which is now largely indistinct due to corrosion. Surrounding the centre at the front is a circle of pellets. The hook tapers towards the point (now missing) and is D-shaped in cross-section. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Frank Basford | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
