Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy hooked section from a hook-and-eyelet dress-fastener with circular openwork in a bifid terminal. One of these holes still has its iron rivet intact, so both of them would have been used to attach the hook to the textile. The collar below the terminal has two side-knops. There is an incised cross running between the rivet holes to the end of the remains of the hook, now missing, and crossing from knop to knop.Read (2001) illustrates a similar example on page 42, No.357 which is dated to the 17th century.Read (2008) illustrates a similar example on page 232, No.828, whichis dated to the 17th century also.
