Description: | A copper-alloy fastener (probable dress hook) of probable late medieval or post-medieval date. The body of the fastener is acorn shaped and has several circular indentations on the front. The reverse has an integral attachment stud. The top of the object terminates in a projecting loop, probably an eye for linking with a hooked fastener. No exact parallels have yet been found, but it is likely to date from the 15th to 17th century AD. Length 19.95 mm; width 9.79 mm; thickness 2.12 mm; weight 1.4 grams.
