Description: | Copper alloy hooked tag dating to the post-medieval period (late 15th ?? 16th century). The tag has a rectangular open work plate with a rectangular loop at the top through which ribbon, leather or possibly a chain would have attached the tag. The plate has five small circular holes at the top and two below and the tag tapers to a sharp pointed hook which curls over on itself at the back. The back of the tag is flat and undecorated. The hooked tag (or dress hook) weighs 2.66g and measures 31mm in length, 14.6mm in width and 6.16mm in thickness. Similar examples appear in Geoff Egan??s ??Material Culture in London in an age of transition?? p.44, Fig 25. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Marshall, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
