Description: | A copper alloy dress hook, cast as one piece with the hook end bent upwards over the upper surface. The main part of the object is curved (convex). This is lozenge-shaped with two pierced lobes at the hook end, one either side of the stem of the hook and a rectangular panel containing a row of pellets between them. The hexagonal central area has a foliate design with a central quartered berry and four leaves in cross formation with four small circular berries between. This design is within a border of pellets with a pair of rounded knops at either side. The opposite end to the hook also has a rectangular panel with two small rounded side knops and a terminal pierced circular knop. The hook is a rectangular strip with a pointed end. There are traces of silvering visible, particularly on the upper side of the hook. | 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
