Description: | A silver-gilt hooked clothing fastener of trefoil form. Each hollow semi-spherical element is decorated with three applied filigree circles. Rounded petals around the edges of each element of the trefoil also form the edges of the baseplate. Centrally is a separately-attached quatrefoil element which is secured by a splayed wire loop which pierces the backplate. The separately-attached three-sided bar by which means the fastener was attached to a garment is missing; part of one of the hemispheres is also broken away.
