Description: | An incomplete early postmedieval (c. 16th century) hooked tag cast in copper alloy. The tag is roughly flat in cross section, though there is a slightly raised central area, rectangular in shape. The plate is relatively sparsely ornamented, with edges of zig-zag (?rudimentary foliate) form, and no surface ornament (either cast or incised) is evident. At one terminal there is a large, rounded hook (now broken) while the other bears a long, rectangular attachment slot.
The tag fragment measures 29.8mm long from tip to tip, is 14.5mm wide at its widest point, and has a maximum thickness of 2.6mm (at the centre of the plate). It weighs 3.0g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Ashby, Steven - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
