Description: | Cast copper alloy dress hook dating to the early Post-Medieval period. The object is a one-piece dress hook decorated with moulded relief and openwork. The object has a sub-rectangular attachment loop. A pellet decorates either end of the attachment loop before it forms a hatched Hungerford knot. The incomplete rearward facing hook projects from the base of the knot and terminates with a break. One loop of the knot is in-filled with copper alloy while the other two are openwork. The reverse of the object is flat and undecorated. The object has a mid brown patina.The object can be classified as Read's early Post-Medieval Class E, Type 5. Similar examples can be found in Read, (2008), p110.
