Description: | Silver-gilt composite dress-hook or 'hook-fastener'. Lozenge shaped back plate with projecting fleur-de-lis at each apex. Three further projections between each of the apices, the middle one possibly being another fleur-de lis. The plate supports a hollow cast cushion, the outline of which mirrors that of the back plate. The cushion is decorated with five rounded knops encircled with filigree. Smaller knops at the apices sit at the centre of four circlets. The hook is missing but a scar on the back of the back plate indicates its presence. The back plate is pierced centrally. The gilding is restricted to the front of the object. | 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
