This is a historicizing version of a seventeenth century accessory that was usually worn suspended on the belt. The suspender plate is bent, with a filigree rosette below, from which the six chain plaits start. The chains are gathered with a small plate at the top. They are connected in pairs, suspending a pair of scissors, an acorn-shaped yarn case and a baluster-shaped needle case.
