The attachment bar and hook are soldered to the reverse of the back plate. The back plate supports a raised cushion with applied filigree wire and granulated ornament in trefoil forms. There have been some losses to granulation. The gilding is worn at the back plate and hook. Dimensions: 21.72mm by 15.76mm by 19.48mm. Weight: 16.13mm The precious metal content of the dress hook fulfils the requirements of the Treasure Act in that it is greater than 10% (Bet McLeod, Curator of Renaissance Collections, British Museum). | 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
