Description: | A complete silver gilt post medieval hooked dress tag. In the form of a raised rectangular box or book, the edges are decorated at intervals with globular knops, inbetween these down the longitudinal edges of the plate are smaller flatter rectangular knops. The centre of the front face of the plate has a raised rectangular part which is decorated with filigree, consisting of three small circles within two larger circles. There are small silver knops within and inbetween these larger circles, some of which are missing. The hook is complete, curves backwards abruptly and tapers to a point. The rectangular loop on the back face also survives.
This hooked tag is similar to one from Knaresborough, Yorkshire (Treasure Annual Report 2002, 106, no 136) identified by D Thornton. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
