Description: | An incomplete early post medieval hooked tag. Only the loop and plate of this tag survive, the have been cast in one, the hook is missing due to an old break. The loop is rectangular in shape, 10mm by 5mm in size. The plate is also rectangular in shape, 12mm in length and 10mm in width. It has a linear projection from each corner, the top projections begin from rounded terminals on either side of the front face of the plate the smaller lower projections protrude from either end of a band of two transverse grooves and mouldings. The lower part of the plate tapers into the hook, a stub of which remains, and has two rounded knops with a smaller one below them on its front face. The design on this plate appears to represent an animal of some kind, facing downwrads, with the missing hook perhaps representing its snout, which is unusual. The back face is flat and undecorated. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
