Description: | Silver gilt dress hook or pendant in the form of a hollow tear-shaped front piece with a central depression at the upper end, creating the look of a heart. The heart is surrounded by a ropework border and incised with leaf or frond motifs. This piece has then been soldered on to a tear-shaped back plate with a scalloped edge. The pendant has a loop at one end, perhaps to suspend it or sew it on to clothing, but there is no evidence of a hook or eye at the opposite end so that it could be used as a fastener.
