Description: | Post-medieval silver composite dress hook. The body is rectangular with a thin raised border and seven knops around the body; one at each corner and one centred in between the corner knops on both long sides and one short side of the body. On the short side without a knop are the remains of a possible fleur-de-lis or other floral design, now broken. In the centre of the rectangle is a knop with an impressed design around it: directly above is a heart shape, on either side is a circle and underneath is a circle. This design is in a rectangular frame. In between this and the outer border are fourteen pellets, one in each corner, three evenly spaced out on each of the long sides and two evenly spaced on each of the short side. Soldered on the reverse and positioned behind the now broken floral element of the body are the remains of a recurring hook. Soldered onto the reverse above this is a transverse attachment bar. Similar example scan be found from Houghton, west Sussex (2007 T205, PAS ID: HAMP-5C0711), Wiveton, Norfolk (2008 T613, PAS ID: NMS-F307D5) and Broadstairs and St Peters, Kent (2012 T507, PAS ID: KENT-D532A1). Examples similar to this have been classified as Class D, Type 1 by Read, 2008, p60-61.
