Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Post-Medieval dress hook, dating to the period AD 1600-1800. The object has a round plate with moulded scalloped edges. Two of the scallops at the head of the plate have a break at their termius, and would have formed the attachment loop. Traces of moulded decoration can be seen in the centre. The plate narrows to a collared neck, which tapers to a broken point which would have formed the hook. The neck and stem are bent at an angle towards the plate. The overall appearance is of a flower.Cf. Read, B. (2008) p.109, no.433. Class E. Type 4The object measures 25.83mm in lenth, 14.94mm in width, is 0.76mm thick and weighs 1.15g. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
