Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy sub-lozenge shaped dress hook. The object can be classified as Read's Class E, Type 4 which dates to the early Post-Medieval period. The object has been cast in one piece with moulded-relief and openwork decoration. In the centre of the object is a fleur-de-lis with two perforations above and three below. The fleur-de-lis is surrounded with a double grooved lozenge shaped border. The outer edge of the object is decorated with a series of rounded pellets with a larger pellet at the top of the object within the attachment loop and a larger pellet above the hook. The attachment loop is sub-triangular in plan and trapezoidal in cross-section. The hook is rearward facing and terminates with a break which occurred during antiquity. The rear of the object is flat and undecorated. The object has a light green patina and is in good condition. A similar example can be found in Read, (2008), p107, no. 424.
