Title
dress fastener (plan)
Description
English: Cast copper alloy dress fastener or eye-section, lozenge-shaped in plan, with a rectangular eye that would have held the hook on the other half of a pair of fasteners. On either side of the eye are two circular side loops, which would have allowed the fastener to be sewn on to clothing, along with the third circular loop at the other end of the fastener. Between the eye and the attachment loop terminal, the face of the fastener is decorated with a moulded rosette of four circular petals, alternating with four lozenge-shaped leaves or sepals, within a frame of two transverse lines at either end and two curved scrolls that meet in the middle on either side. The centre of the flower has a recessed pellet on an incised cross, and the sepals are also defined by incised crosses.

Bailey (2004) illustrates a similar dress fastener on page 100, Fig.2.43, which is dated from the 17th century.

Read (2008) illustrates a similar dress fastener on page 179, No.683, which he classes as Post-medieval Class A, Type 10.
