Description: | Post medieval copper alloy dress hook (dating to the 16th century). The dress hook comprises a triangular backplate cut from sheet metal with three hemispherical bosses attached with solder. Each boss is decorated with filigree spirals and central foliate knops. The whole surface of the dress hook has been tinned or silvered and much of this remains in place. On the reverse, the hook has a rectangular loop through which a strap or ribbon would have passed in order to attach the hook to a garment. At the base of the tag the remains of the hook can be seen. The hooked tag weighs 3.26g and measures 23.5mm in length, 23.9mm in width and 8.78mm in thickness. | 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
