Description: | A worn and incomplete cast copper alloy dress hook dating to the Post-medieval period. The hook and suspension loop are now broken/missing but the round body suggests it is of Read's (2008) Class E Type 3. The body is circular and slightly convex. It is decorated with moulded relief in the form of a 'Tudor' style rose, which is now worn. A very small fragment of the base of the hook is visible at the bottom of the main body. At the top there are two very thin fragments of the suspension loop which is broken in the middle. The angle at which these fragments are placed, particularly the one on the right which begins to form the corner of the loop, suggests the orignal shape of it would be trapezoidal, in keeping with Read's classification.
