Description: | A cast copper alloy dress hook. It consists of a central plate, rectangular loop, and a hook. The central plate is decorated with a raised design of a berry or pineapple, set between a ??v?? shape and surrounded by 12 openwork circles (two of which are blocked with corrosion). The end of the hook is broken, so the extent of the curl is undetermined. The hooked tag is completely covered with green patina from the copper alloy corrosion over time. It measures 36.7mm x 15.8mm x 2.0mm, and weighs 3.14g. Parallels for this date to the post-Medieval, c.1500-1650AD. (NLM-F35FF8, SUSS-CCBA93). This type of hooked tag is also referenced in the ??Finds Recording Guide?? by Helen Geake. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
