Description: | Complete copper alloy hooked tag. Cast in one piece, it has a subrectangular loop placed above a circular plate. The front of the plate is decorated with a raised dot motif. A raised ring with diagonal lines that give it the appearance of rope surrounds each dot. A central dot-in- ring is surrounded by six further dot –in-rings, and between each of these six dot-in-rings is a pair of plain raised dots. A raised line with the same rope appearance surrounds this over all design. Beneath the plate is a shank that tapers and bends to form the hook. The reverse of the hooked tag is plain and flat, except for the reverse of the circular plate, which is slightly concave. The overall length of the hooked tag is 44mm.The loop is 14.56mm wide and 7.24mm high and the circular plate has a diameter of 13.8mm. It weighs 2.62 grammes. It is probably 15th or 16th century in date. A close parallel is illustrated in Bailey 1995 Detector Finds, page 33, number 48. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
