Description: | A cast copper alloy dress hook dating to the early Post-Medieval period. The object is a one piece hooked section of Read Class A, Type 2. The object is oval with the remains of three circular loops for attachment, one at the top, and one at either side. At the base of the object is a rectangular tab which is incomplete and would have formed a hook. The object has a double ridged moulding dividing the tab from the main body. The decoration is worn. The object has a dark grey patina and has been tinned. Similar examples can be found in Read, (2008), p168-170.
