Description: | A copper-alloy dress-hook with trefoliate back-plate (c. 16th century AD). Three hemispherical bosses are soldered onto the front, one within each lobe of the trefoil. These are each decorated with three filigree circles around a central pellet. There is a further pellet in each circle and one other outside the circles on each boss. At the point where the three bosses meet is a delicate silver flower-head of twelve petals; this is attached to the back-plate by a gilded butterfly clip also visible on the back. On the reverse is a squashed attachment bar at the broad end of the trefoil; at the other end the recurving hook, now broken and unaligned, is soldered. Such dress-hooks are more commonly found in silver (e.g. HAMP-6CACB7 on this datasbase). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
