Description: | Cast silver gilt dress hook, 16th century. Lozenge-shaped plate with relief decoration of a central quatrefoil surrounded by small bosses with rope-twist borders (one in each corner and three along each edge). Transverse rectangular attachment bar and re-curving hook soldered onto the reverse. Traces of gilding all over. Dimensions: Length 27.5mm, width 18.9mm, weight 4.60g. Discussion: See TAR 1998-9 no.221 (Chelsham, Surrey), TAR 2003 no.242 (Billesley Warwickshire) and TAR 2004 no.270 (East Keal, Lincolnshire) for parallels. The dress hook is gilded silver and dates from the sixteenth century. Consequently, in terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
