Description: | A corroded post-medieval copper-alloy dress hook, incomplete following an old break at the junction of plate and hook. The plate survives with an integral trapezoidal loop. It has a hollow-backed oval body. Within a pellet border is a classical style female bust facing left (when the loop is lowermost). A similar dress hook can be found illustrated in Read (2008, 94; no. 336), broken in a similar place, and classified as his Early post-medieval Class E, Type 3. This artefact has light-green and off-white corrosion product over red-brown metal.
