Description: | A 16th century copper alloy hook fastener, cast in one piece. The main body of the fastener is circular and convex with a floral design in the centre. The trapezoidal hook protrudes from one side of the circular part, and the hook from the other. The hook is bent forward and the tip has been broken off. The back of the object is concave and undecorated. The fastener is similar to no. 7 in Bailey's Detector Finds (1995, pp. 29-30). It would have been used as a fastener on an item of clothing. | 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
