Description: | A post medieval cast copper alloy dress hook. The central plate is oval extending into a point at the hook end ending in a trefoil terminal. The hook extends from the central leaf of the trefoil. The hook is bent backwards 180 degrees; it is D shaped in section with a flat back. The front of the central plate is moulded with a raised line outer border containing raised floral/foliate decoration. The oval attachement loop is attached opposite the hook. Read (2008: 120, No.491) illustrates a similar, although much more worn, example which he categorises as Early Post Medieval Class H and and suggests dates to the 16th century. It is also similar to Read (2008: 96, No.355) which is similar in date although that example has a trapezoid rather than oval attachement loop. See SUSS-735DB2 on this database for another example.
