The dress hook consists of a central circular recessed boss, surrounded by interlacing moulded-relief and openwork design. An irregularly shaped trapezoidal loop is positioned on one end, opposite to a rearward-facing sharp hook. Directly in between the central circular decoration and the sharp hook is a small moulded collar which bears traces of a fluted design. The dress hook is flat and the reverse is plain and undecorated. It measures 36.7 mm long, approximately 19 mm wide (at centre), 1.5 mm thick (at centre) and weighs 3.3 grams. Cf. Read 2008, p. 101, no. 384.
