Description: | A cast copper-alloy hooked tag of late Medieval or post-Medieval date.
The tag is complete and in good condition. There are three primary elements to the tag: a rectangular strap fitting; a decorated circular body; and the hook. The decorated body is circular in shape with openwork decoration. The decoration consists of two concentric circles joined by a series of arcs, whose apexes rest against the inner circle, and whose terminals meet outside the outer circle. The inner circle also has a heart in it.
A collar separates the circular body from the hook, which turns down and inward so that the hook is parallel to the body of the tag. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Collins, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
