Title
DRESS HOOK
Description
English:

An incomplete Post-Medieval copper alloy dress hook probably dating to c. AD 1550-1700.

The fastener consists of an oval plate with two perforated lugs for attachment now survicing only as small stubs projecting from the side of the plate (the outside edge being lost to old breaks). These lugs are close to the trapezoidal attachment loop. This fastener is broken on its outer edge. The opposite end of the plate is also broken but would have had another circular attachment lug pierced by a circular hole. 

The front of the plate has incised decoration creating a floral spray design,

The fastener is 27.9mm long, 19.8mm, 1.5mm thick and weighs 3.1 grams.

Similar artefacts can be seen published by Read (2008: 171, Nos. 640-3), which he classifies as his Class A, type 2, and suggests an early Post-Medieval date range.
