Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy dress hook dating to the early Post-Medieval period. The object is oval in plan with a rearward facing hook. The hook is D-shaped in cross-section and is almost complete. The upper face of the object is decorated with a moulded geometric design. On either side of the object is a bifurcate decorative knop. The rear of the object is flat and undecorated. The object is similar to Read's early Post-Medieval Class A, Type 8. Although the decorative knops are present, this object does not have the three attachment knops and a parallel has not currently been found for the decoration. The object has a mid-brown patina and is in good condition.
