Description: | A Post-Medieval silver-gilt dress hook of trefoil form. The dress hook consists of three filigree-decorated bosses, which are held in place by a back plate. The bosses are all joined together. There is a rivet hole in the centre of the bosses, which holds a rivet in place. The rivet holds a further decorative feature in place in the gap between the bosses. This further decoration would have consisted of a number of petals; only one remains, the others have been broken off. The end of the rivet (which is visible) has been finished with a spherical knop. The rivet goes through the hole and divides into two to hook itself onto the back plate. Unfortunately no hook or bar remains. The reverse is free from decoration. This dress hook is almost identical to the dress hook found in Gooderstone (Norfolk), which can been seen in the Treasure Report 2001, No. 148. | 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: | 1500
