Description: | A complete copper-alloy cast one-piece early Post Medieval dress hook of Class E, Type 3 dating to the c.16th century AD. The dress hook has a rectangular loop with a circular low-relief boss and a sharp rearward-facing hook. The dress hook is relatively flat, with raised moulded relief and openwork design on the outer face, which is comprised of degraded cross fleury with a central pellet; the circumference of the circular plate is decorated with a pelleted edge and the spaces in between the cross fleury design are open, creating a series of small circular apertures as part of the design. The dress hook is dark green in colour with some reddish areas of discolouration. The object measures 35.1 mm long, 15.8 mm diameter (at circular plate), 1.3 mm thick and weighs 1.97 grams. A similar but not exact parallel is illustrated in Read 2008, p. 97, no. 360.
