Broad period: ROMAN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
A cast copper-alloy complete button-and-loop fastener of a form which represents a hybrid of Wilds' Class II and III (Wild 1970 138-139, fig 1). Wild dates Class II to mid 1st to 2nd century AD and Calss III to AD 50-150, this example is therefore likely to be broadly of a smilar date. As the fasteners are often found on military sites they are believed to have possibly been items of military equipment. It measures 29.15mm in length and 21.31mm in width. As with all button and loop fasteners this example is characterised by a button like head from the back of which a shank w…

Object type: DRESS HOOK
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk

Description: Silver gilt 16th century cap-hook or hat-hook in the form of a Tudor rose. On the front face the rose has five moulded petals and a central protruding circular boss. The back face is flat and has a now incomplete pin across its middle; this pin is soldered on and incomplete due to an old break. Discussion: Other Tudor cap-hooks are known from elsewhere, Gaimster (2002, 169-173) identifies them as a main category of Tudor dress accessory and it believed that they were used to embellish the hats of the Tudor elite. This example is very similar to a complete cap-hook fro…
