Description: | Early post medieval hooked tag, 16th-17th century. Trapezoidal loop, circular plate, hook broken off. The plate has moulded relief decoration which is unclear but probably represents a man's head with beard and bushy hair; within a plain line border then a ring of pellets, then another plain line border. The head is hollow cast on the reverse. Length (broken) 17.78mm, width (diameter of central section) 15.98mm, thickness 2.40mm, weight 1.12g.
Other tags with similar decoration on the PAS database include HAMP957, HAMP2214, HAMP2215, HAMP3280, SFB52863, NLM-A75886, NARC-33DBC7 - note that on some of these the head is differently orientated. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Atherton, Rachel - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
