Description: | A copper alloy Post Medieval to Modern hook, probably a hook attachment for a spur leather. It is an S shaped double hook, with a blunt rounded terminal at each end. The middle part of the hook expands to form a plate. This is pear shaped and openwork, with a pear shaped hole in the centre. The condition of the metal, which is red with a grey patina flaking off, suggests a late date for this object, probably late Post Medieval or Modern; 1700 - 1900. There are other examples of spur leather attachment hooks on the database, but none of this design. Another possibility is a picture hook, but the hooks seem to small to fit on a picture rail.
