Title
Early Post Medieval: Complete Read Class E Type 5 dress hook / hooked clasp
Description
English: A complete copper alloy hooked tag (dress hook) of Post Medieval dating (16th Century AD).

The dress hook has a sub triangular plate, with a trefoil of moulded domed bosses. Four smaller bosses are present in between each boss. Traces of gilding survives around the base of the three bosses. It has a rectangular attachment loop. The reverse is flat and undecorated. The hook is complete, it is D shaped in section, tapers to a point. The tip curves back on itself.

The dress hook measures 22.8 mm in length, 14.0 mm wide and 8.4 mm thick. It weighs 2.5 g.

The dress hook is a mid brown colour, with an uneven surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the ploughsoil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail.

Similar examples have been published as #443-444 in Read, 2008 (p 111) , classified as Early Post Medieval Class E single sharp hooked clasps, Type 5. Read (2008, 87), mentions that all Class E clasps recovered by the Thames Mudlarks have been from secure c. AD 1500 to c. AD 1550 deposits, suggesting a 16th Century date.
