Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy hooked tag of probable early post-medieval date. A parallel for this artefact is shown in Bailey, 2004, p. 98, fig. 12.26.
The plate is circular in plan and, when aligned horizontally with the frame at the left hand end, can be seen to bear the image of a male head. This head, cast in high relief and contained within a circular border, has a long beard and hair. Bailey suggests that the male depicted is St. John the Baptist, although the justification for this identification is unclear. The frame is inverted trapezoidal and the hook element is missing. The reverse of the plate is slightly concave.
The object measures 19.4mm long, 13.8mm wide and 3.6mm thick. The weight is 1.79g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
