Description: | An incomplete Post Medieval silver gilt dress hook of 16th-century date. The hook is in the form of a book or box comprising a rectangular backplate with seven projecting globular knops along the sides, and a fleur-de-lis at the point where the recurving hook, now missing, would have been soldered onto the backplate. The front face is gilded, and has, within a rectangular frame, an impressed heart and three indentations above. The bar attachment on the reverse is now missing; solder marks show its original position.The hook is 13.7mm long, 10.5mm wide, 1.7mm thick and weighs 1.1grams.This object is identical to a Hampshire dress-hook (Treasure Annual Report 2004, no. 267), itself a simpler form of that found a dress-hook from Knaresborough, Yorkshire (Treasure Annual Report 2002, no. 136). Read (2008) classifies the type as Class D type one. Number 190 on page 61 is near identical to this example.
