Description
English: A Post Medieval silver gilt dress fastener of 16th to 17th century date. A hook piece with filigree decorated plate. The plate is trefoil shaped with a dome on each foil; the domes are surrounded by applied filigree wire circles and all are glided. At the centre between the domes is a single domed pellet of gilded silver. There are three further pellets, one between each dome. The back of the plate is flat and bears file marks. At the back is a backward curved, pointed hook soldered to the plate. Above this is a separate bar to allow the fastener to be sewn to fabric.

A similar cinquefoil example can be seen on the database: DOR-9E1538. Similar Trefoil shaped silver gilt dress fasterners but with a separate central attachment are common treasure finds; for example KENT-B7A7B4, ESS-F443F4 and ESS-1B7893, all of which are dated from the 16th to 17th centuries.

The dress fastener is 20.5mm long, 13.7mm wide, 3.1mm thick and weighs 2.66 grams.
