Description: | A cast, copper alloy hook plate from a hook and eye dress fastener, dating from 1600-1800AD. The body is lozenge shaped. At one end are two small semi-circular knops flanking a larger knop which is pierced for attaching to the clothing. There are two further pierced knops for attachment at the opposite end of the body, flanking a rectangular hook which curves forwards. Halfway along each side of the body are two small projections divided by a shallow notch. The decoration on the front is worn but seems to be five floral elements, one central, with radial lines between them. There are many similar examples on the database includingESS-4E64C3 andSWYOR-E889B4.
