Description: | A complete post-medieval cast copper-alloy hooked tag (c. 16th century). The object has a central circular plate with a domed centre (the reverse is concave). A trapezoidal attachment loop projects from one side with the hook opposite. The hook and loop both had an angular D-shaped cross-section; the lower surface is flat. The central plate is decorated with the raised letters 'ihs' surrounded by a moulded pellet border. The letters would have been the right way up when the loop was at the top and the hook at the bottom. The copper alloy has a green-brown patina. Other identical hooked tags have been recorded on this database, including HAMP-07E673.
The tag is 32.5 mm long by 12.6mm wide (diameter of the central plate), by 2.7mm thick (including domed plate); it weighs 1.82 grams. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
