File:2005 T332, incomplete silver Post-Medieval dress-hook from Orford, Suffolk (FindID 215975).jpg

English: Post-medieval dress-hook Date: 16th century Date of discovery: 8/2005 Circumstances of discovery: While searching with a metal detector. Description: An incomplete silver gilt composite hooked tag, the upper half of the plate survives and the rest of the plate and the hook are missing due to old breaks. The plate was originally trefoil in shape consisting of a separate back plate, cusped around its edge, supporting three domed bosses, the upper two of these now survive. Each boss is decorated with filigree and granulated ornament; the filigree forms four outer circles with knops between them. Each of the outer circles has four filigree circles within it and these have a tiny protruding knop at their centre. Below and between the two surviving bosses, in what would have been the centre of the front face above the third missing boss, there is a darkened tarnished area where a now detached silver gilt rivet with a large domed head would have been originally. This rivet appears to have been soldered onto the back plate with its terminal pushed through it; its shaft is split. Below the rivet head, with the shaft of the rivet passing through its centre, there is a small roughly rectangular silver sheet with cusped edges. The rivet would therefore have held this small sheet in the centre of the front face of the plate originally. On the reverse face the upper half of the back plate survives, as does the complete transverse rectangular loop. Discussion: This hooked tag is of D Gamister, Group I (2002, 161, fig 1, no 1). It is similar in style to an example from Martyr Worthy, Hampshire (Treasure Annual Report 1998-1999, 84, no 210). Dimensions: 13.6mm in surviving length, 26.8mm in width, 5.07g in weight. The precious metal content of this hooked tag fulfils the requirements of the Treasure Act in that it is greater than 10 %.
