| Description |
English: A Medieval/Post-Medieval silver double-ended dress fastener (14th - 16th century).
Curator's report:
Silver artefact finely made from twisted wire, two sharply pointed ends curved over to form an agraffe.
This appears to be a double strap attachment or garter hook, of a type fashionable in the late 15th Century. They are sometimes decorated with applied plaques or decorative elements, see a four-pronged one with a Tudor rose, in TAR 2005, nos. 695, also a three-pronged one, no. 696, both dated by their decoration or related pictorial evidence to the late 15th-early 16th Centuries. That dating seems right for this object, though it may be earlier, given the use of twisted silver wire in 14th Century toilet accessories.
As such, due to its age and precious metal content, this object qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
Dr Dora Thornton, Curator of Renaissance Collections
