Title
A 16th century tubular dress hook.
Description
English: The dress hook is made of a single piece of cast copper alloy. In total length the dress hook is 30.9mm, and is 14.6mm wide across the body. 

    The body of the dress hook is an elongated trapezoidal/rectagnular shape in plan. In profile the body is tubular, with a flat reverse and a semi-circular outer face. This outer face is decorated with a moulded design, which forms a  criss-cross design. The criss-cross is in low relief, and has a dark grey shiny substance within the low relief, possibly neillo. In some areas the niello or corrsion has covered the surface with a dark grey colour.  The upper edge is the straight edge. The reverse of the body has a rectangular aperture towards the upper edge. The upper border on the reverse is slightly distorted and worn, as if it has been sewn to some fabric and seen some use. 


     
    Protruding from the lower edge of the body is a long oval sectioned hook. The hook tapers to a point and curls towards the rverse forming a 'U' shape in profile.
David Gaimster in the 'Treasure Annual Report 2000' dates a similalarly shaped dress hook to the 16th century.
