Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy hooked tag of probable Late Anglo-Saxon/Early Medieval date. It has a flat lozenge shaped plate with integral hook at one end and two projecting attachment lobes at the other. The front face is decorated with a single incised line along the centre of plate and two additional incised grooves that form a border around the edge. At the top end of the plate are the two integral attachment lobes that are sub-oval in shape and have circular sewing holes. The opposing end of the plate has an integral hook that is rectangular in plan and begins to bend backwards but terminates in an old break. The tag measures 18.16mm in length, 10.99mm in width, and weighs 0.53g. A similar hooked tag is noted on the PAS database from Harling, Norfolk with a close parallel in Middle Harling (NMS-6E7816). These suggest a Late Anglo-Saxon date of the 10th or 11th centuries AD, or perhaps a little earlier, for the current example. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
