Title
Early Post Medieval: Complete Read Class E Type 3 dress hook / hooked clasp
Description
English: A complete cast copper alloy dress fastening, sometimes called a hooked tag or clasp, dating to the Post Medieval period circa AD1500-1700. This is one of two objects that would have been used together to join straps or clothing. The 'eye' on this object would have held a hook from a corresponding fastener. In plan, the body of the dress fastening is irregular, possibly referencing the body of a butterfly with sub-circular wings. The 'eye' is formed by a bar connecting the top point of each 'wing' forming an irregular perforation. A hook protrudes beneath the body of the dress fastening from the centre. The hook narrows gradually to a sharp point. The hook bends at a 90 degree angle approximately halfway down its length. The upper surface of the body of the dress fastening has moulded curvilinear decoration. The reverse of the dress fastening is flat and undecorated. The surfaces of the dress fastening are worn due to movement in the plough soil with an uneven mid brown / light green patina.

Length: 28.46mm. Width: 17.81mm. Thickness: 1.92mm. Weight: 1.7g

Comparable dress fastenings are recorded in Margeson: 1993 p17, figs 72-75. See also Read, 2008, page 106, no 415.
