Description: | An incomplete Post-Medieval cast copper alloy hook. The head is square with molded decoration of openwork circles, possibly a floral pattern, and checkerboard pattern sitting in a large V underneath. The hook is long but has been broken. The terminal is rolled. There is surface corrosion throughout. The reverse is flat and plain. The object is in fair condition; it is worn but some of the decoration is still visible. This is likely to date from the early Post-Medieval period from circa 1500-1800. Similar hooks may be found in Read (2008) pg. 104 no. 403, and on the database LANCUM-D029A3, CPAT-1B8A88 and BUC-FBF308.The hook is 32.7 mm long, 16 mm wide, 2.1 mm thick and weighs 2.67 g.
