Description: | A cast copper-alloy dress hook of probable post-medieval date and probably a fitting from a sword belt. The object has a forward projecting loop at one end. The other end is broken but the remains of a hook or loop project from a sub-rectangular plate located in the middle. Each side of this plate is slightly concaved. Traces of gilding survive on the front of this plate and on the tip of the remaining hook. No traces of gilding remain on the reverse. The green surface patina is much abraded and corroded and the object has a purple/brown colour where the surface patina is missing. The object measures 24.87 mm long, 15.62 mm wide, 1.95 mm thick and weighs 3.9 grams.
