Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Post Medieval dress fastening. This component of a dress fastening is the 'eye' and not the 'hook'. The body of the dress fastening is a sub-oval in plan with a straight terminal where originally a rectangular loop would have protruded, but is now missing. At the lower tip and either side there are three integral lugs with circular perforations, the lower one is incomplete. The outer surface is decorated with stamped annulets. The reverse is flat and undecorated. The surface of the dress hook has a matte grey coloured patina. The dress hook measures 27.27mm long and 28.73mm wide across the body. It weighs 4.3g. The dress hook dates to the 17th to early 18th century.
