Description: | Cast copper alloy dress hook dating to the early Post-Medieval period, (1500-1600). The object is a cast one-piece which consists of a circular convex dome, a sub-rectangular attachment loop and an incomplete hook. The domed boss bears a classical-style human face. This is surrounded by a moulded boarder and a beaded outer boarder. At the junction of the plate and the hook is a ridged double-pellet collar. The reverse of the object is undecorated. The object has a dark brown patina and is in good condition. This type of dress hook conforms to Reed Class E, type 3 which is circular or sub-circular. Similar examples are no.325 and 326, p92, Read, (2008).
