Description: | An incomplete unusual hooked tag. The plate of this tag is made of lead and the hook is iron. The plate is lozenge shaped and measures 18.3mm by 18.3mm in size. The front face is decorated with corner knops with smaller rounder knops inbetween these along the edge of the plate. There is a central moulded circle with a central rounded knop which has radiating ridges from it to the edges of the circle. Attached to the back face and projecting from one of the tips of lozenge shaped plate there is the remains of an iron hook 10mm in surviving length and 2mm in width. On the back face of the plate no attachment loop can now be seen. A similar hooked tag, although rectangular in shape has been found in Rishangles, Suffolk (see SF-938B08). Both of these examples are believed to be early post medieval in date, although no published parallel could be found. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
