It's called a "morse," although I've more commonly seen that word applied
to metal brooch-like fastenings.
Take a look at: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10577c.htm
I wonder what exactly they based this entry on--if it's accurate, they're
describing a much earlier use of hooks and eyes than any I've found yet
(other than the Roman or the armor-related ones, which were a different type
of thing). Interesting!
