Description: | A heavily corroded Medieval to Post Medieval copper alloy hook and ring (c. 1300-1700 AD). The object comprises a D-shaped ring and circular-sectioned tapering shaft, bent in half to form a hook. The hook measures 38mm long, with a 4.8mm max. shaft diameter. The shape of the end loop suggests it was designed to attach to a leather strap. The metal is stripped bare and it is difficult to determine age from the surface condition, but based on the style a Post Medieval date is perhaps more likely. The object measures 52.21 mm long, 23.60 mm across the width of D-shaped loop, and weighs 13.34 grams.
