Description: | Incomplete cast in one copper alloy dress-hook of Early Post Medieval date (AD 1540 - AD 1600). Length 34mm, width 15mm and 1.8mm thick. Weight 3.11g.
The plate of the dress-hook is square with a rounded base. At the top is a rectangular attachment loop. Below the attachment loop is a plain zone which has a slightly concave face. Between this plain area and the integral hook, the plate has openwork in the form of four small circular perforations. One of the perforations has become enlarged due to corrosion. The hook projects forwards slightly and then turns sharply rearwards. It is convex at the front. The tip of the hook is broken and missing. The break is old and abraded. The rear face including the rear of the hook is flat.
The piece is corroded and in poor condition, probably as a result of the condition the find has endured within the inter-tidal zone where it was found. It is covered overall with bright green corrosion products. | 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: | 1540
