About this item
This is a nice and intact Tudor silver-gilt dress-hook, dating to the 16th century. The diamond shape of the dress hook is consistent with that of Read's Early Post-medieval Class D, Type 3 (#208-9) and dateable with the 16th Century AD (Read, 2008, p 65-66). Further examples have been recorded from Winterton (NLM-FE0AA0), North Lincolnshire (NLM-B5E375) and Malvern Hills (WMID-06023F). This example was originally found in Highworth, Wiltshire, reported to the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.
