Title |
Lion head cloak fastener |
||
Description |
English: A light-weight copper alloy cloak or dress fastening in the shape of a lion's head dating to the 18th or 19th century.
The lion's head is hollow on the reverse and there is a loop still in place which would have attached the fastening to an item of clothing. There is evidence for at least another one loop although this is now missing. Soldered to the back of the lion is a metal hook which curves forward and terminates to the left of the lion's face. Similar examples have been found elsewhere including in Lancashire (LANCUM-87C592) and there are more solid examples from Cornwall (CORN-7A96E7, CORN-48B888). It has been suggested that these cloak fasteners are associated with the military due to examples found on HMS Innocence which dates to the 18th century. |
