*Harley Psalter fol.1v [OWEN-CROCKER 1976:p.489]. I think there is a typo in her book as it references fol. 27v [OWEN-CROCKER 2004:p.257] which shows no seated figure.
|Literature
|Archaeology=
*Birka, Sweden, grave Bj903, a pair of bronze hooks in situ under the kneecaps of a male skeleton. 10th cent. (from Arbman [ARBMAN 1940-43)]. The hooks were fastened into small iron rings, to which linen tabby possibly from the trousers was rusted [HAGG 1986]*Novgorod , A bronze hook, C9-10th. (from Nosov [NOSOV 1987)].*Winchester, England, a pair of small silver hooked tags found below the knee, C9th. (from Biddle [BIDDLE 1990)].
|Discussion=
Biddle suggests that a better use for such hooks is to hold together two edges of a garment. For instance, they could have been used to fasten a split in the upper edge of a short stocking, allowing it to fit snugly to the calf. ([BEATSON, Wickelbander n.d.)-b]

[CROOM 2000]*Finland. Narrow tablet woven garters were used by Viking Age Finns to fasten their chevron twill puttees (Khvoschchinskaia [KHVOSCHCHINSKAIA 1992)], the garters often had plaited terminals interlaced with coils of bronze wire a particularly Baltic embellishment([BEATSON-b]*Norway, Wickelbander nSkjoldenhamn.dc.)1024AD.
