Description: | Copper alloy Hook. Cast D section hook tapering to a rounded point. The hook springs from a round section shank with an expanded and stepped end which is broken beyond the step. The shank bears two pairs of circumferential chatter marks towards either end, possibly from the operation of the object or possibly caused during finishing, perhaps in a vice. A pair of small V shaped notches at the broken expanded end appear more likely to be decorative features, and these bear serial indentations suggesting rocker work. This object may derive from a sword hanging suite or purse bar. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1650.Length: 60.9mm, Width (at expanded end): 9.1mm, Thickness (at expanded end): 8.8mm, Diameter (shank): 6.4mm, Weight: 13.59gms.
