Description: | An incomplete silver gilt rectangular dress hook which is D shaped in section. Only the arched front plate survives. It is decorated with three rows of four domed bosses, each surrounded by a ropework border and with raised pellets in the angles between the domes. Each row is divided from the others by a raised line. There would once have been a decorative terminal at one end from which he hook would extend, but this is missing, as is the back plate, and possibly a flange round the sides. There are traces of solder along the two long edges and at one end. The other end is gilded and appears to be complete suggesting that there was no end plate.
