Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy hook terminal, of post-medieval to modern date. The terminal is polyhedral and has a curvilinear circular sectioned shaft projecting from one end. There is the remains of what appears to be green enamel or other coating on two of the faces of the hook terminal. Although similar terminals are reminiscent of terminals from a purse bar, or even middle Anglo-Saxon pin heads, complete examples have been identified (e.g. SUSS-59F935) and are likely to have been coat or clothes hooks. See also BH-7A8FD3, BH-F6E4D2 and CORN-9D354 on this database for parallels. These hooks probably date from the late 18th to 20th centuries.
