Description: | An complete cast copper alloy dress hook dating from the early post medieval period, that is the 16th-17th century. The dress hook is a dress hook of Read's Class E, Type 3. The attachment loop is formed by a trapezoidal loop at the top of the head. The circular shaped plate is domed and features a moulded relief decoration showing a five-petalled double rose. On the opposite side of the loop it terminates in a long hook.The attachment loop is D shaped in cross section. The reverse of the plate is concave. This is more apparent in its upper half than the lower half. Read (2008) states that these objects are cast.A similar example is published in Read (2008) page 95, number 345.
