HOSE HOOKS
To shop now go to  https://masterarks.etsy.com

Called  vindingr,  hose hooks, hooked tags, or garter hooks, these hooks are sewn on the end of leg wraps or winingas.  They then hook into the body of the wrap to fasten it.

This pair of cast bronze hose hooks are based on the one below.  Like the original they are 4cm by 2cm and have three pierced lobes for sewing the hooks on and a hook for fastening it to the leg wrap.

This is a picture of one of the hooks I based mine on.  A pair of these were found by the knees of a body buried on Cathedral Green, Winchester.  They are Anglo-Saxon from the second half of the ninth century.
