Description: | Cast lead alloy dress hook of Read's Class D Type 2. Disc-shaped with three 5.2mm diameter holes, in the centre is a low, plain (?) boss set within a ring. Between the three holes are simple arrangements of small pellets. The back of the disc bears a lattice of fine, raised lines and two hemispherical bosses linked by a short bar. These are likely to have held the now missing copper alloy hook. The surfaces of the disc are damaged making interpretation difficult. While no direct parallel for this object has been found in Read's work its family links are clear enough for it to be placed in this group.
