Title
dress hook (back)
Description
English: Silver gilt dress hook with cusped tear-shaped back plate with soldered recurving hook and bar attachment. The front is domed with an applied filigree twisted border at the base of the dome, following the shape of the back plate. Within this border are three applied filigree twisted circles in a trefoil formation each surrounding a central pellet, one of which is now missing. The three circles also surround a larger central pellet to the whole piece, which is in line with another pellet between the upper two circles.

There are other examples on the database of similar dress hooks which are larger, such as one from Phillack, Cornwall (2004 T339) but the closest comparanda that the recorder can find of a smaller example like this one was found in Landkey, Devon (2004 T425), which both date from the 16th century.
