Description: | A complete cast copper alloy early Post-medieval dress hook, dating from c. AD 1500-1550. The hooked clasp has a sub-circular central body that appears to have a cinquefoil design, although this is quite worn. Above the central body of the clasp is a trapezoidal loop for attachment. The pin projects from the base of the cinquefoil design and is complete (and very sharp!). Similar clasps are detailed in Read (2008) p91-102. This clasp bears close resemblance to Read's Class E Type 3.
