English: Report on post-medieval dress fitting from `Saxton' N. Yorkshire 2008 T726
"Silver dress fitting comprising a flower head, cast. On the back one simple loop, no signs of a bar fitting.
Probably 16th Century. The simple loop suggests this may have been a cap hook rather than a dress hook, of the kind worn on men's caps around 1480-1580 in England. As such, due to its age and precious metal content, this object qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
