Description: | Period: 16th century Description: silver dress-hook triangular cusped backplate with three applied bosses decorated with filigree and knops. At the centre is a dome-headed pin with a petal-like border which is attached to the back plate with a butterfly clip. At the tope there is a recurving pin, on the back a rectangular fixing bar with a maker's mark 'X'. Maker's mark not identified amongst recorded London maker's marks for the 16th century in Jackson but the fact that this is marked is unusual for a dress hook reported through the Treasure Act. Dimensions: Height: 28 mmWidth: 18.5 mmThickness: 11.3 mmWeight: 5.32 g Discussion: For comparison please see TAR 2005/6, p141 (ref 643), 2006 T450 from Bedfordshire. As such, due to its age and precious metal content, this object qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996. Dora Thornton
