Description: | An unusual object which may have functioned as a dress hook, it consists of a lozenge shaped silver plate which has a piece of copper alloy wire attached vertically to its reverse. The silver plate has V-shaped notches decorating its edges and the front face has a raised flower in each corner. Two opposing flowers are trefoil in shape and the other two opposing flowers are different from each other, one is larger and has six rounded petals and the other is circular in shape, smaller and has grooves cut into it to depict six divisions, also presumably petals. The copper alloy wire is attached to the back face of the silver plate via solder. The wire runs vertically up the centre of the plate and projects past the plate, the terminal end is slightly bent and incomplete due to an old break.
