Description: | A complete silver gilt hooked tag, or dress hook, Read class D type 6, of Post-Medieval date, c. 1500-1600.The tag has a trefoil-shaped head with small triangular notches around its border. Each lobe has a dome in its centre, with a raised circle around its base. Between the three domes are three remaining pieces of large silver filigree, with small circular depressions indicating the locations of at least three more. It is possible that the domes were completely surrounded by filligree.The underside is undecorated but retains a C-shaped bracket near the rear edge for attachment to clothing, and a hooked shank, circular in section, that has been flattened at one end to solder on to the underside of the tag.
