Description: | Copper-alloy lace-tag, made from sheet metal with an edge-to-edge seam. Two V-shaped nicks are cut out of one end and the resulting points bent inwards to form the closed end. The open end has no rivet, and may be incomplete. It tapers slightly from roughly 4 mm in diameter at the open end to roughly 3 mm in diameter at the closed end. The weight includes the soil contained within the lace-tag. The technique of cutting one end of the lace-tag into a series of points which are then bent inwards to form the closed end does not appear to be used either on the lace-tags from medieval London (described in Egan and Pritchard 1991) or on those from medieval and early post-medieval Norwich (described in Margeson 1993). Despite this, they are a fairly common metal-detector find. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Geake, Helen - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
