Description: | A small oval cast copper-alloy hooked tag of early-medieval date. The flat plate of the fitting is decorated with eleven ring and dot motifs. No means of attachment survive.
The hook remains in situ, but it has lost its tip and it is damaged.
The object has corroded to a pitted light greenish-brown colour. Hooked tags such as this could date from the 8th to 11th centuries; this examples is more likely to be from the later end of that range. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
