DRESS HOOK

Unique ID: HAMP1184

Object type certainty: Certain

Silver-gilt dress-hook with trefoil back-plate with crimped edges, supporting three bosses. Each boss has three applied filigree circles with a raised pellet at the centre where the circles meet. Circular perforation through the centre which would have held missing rosette. Reverse attachment loop missing, hook intact, but bent. Much of the filigree is damaged or missing. This example is similar to a dress-hook found at Martyr Worthy, Hampshire although the decoration is less elaborate (Treasure Annual Report 1998-1999, 84, 210).
