Description: | A copper-alloy hooked tag of post-medieval date. No exact parallel could be found for this artefact which is probably some form of clothing fastening. The most likely date is 17th to 18th century.
The object has been made from a piece of sheet metal. The plate has two sides, which meet at a narrow central 'waist'. The upper portion has rounded sides which taper towards the decoratively cut top edge. The lower portion is an inverted drop-shape which tapers into the forward-facing hook. There are three rivet holes, arranged in a triangular formation, the upper hole retaining its bent rivet. The upper surface of the plate has traces of a white-metal coating.
The artefact is slightly corroded. It measures 31.3mm long, 14.7mm wide and 1.2mm thick. The weight is 1.73g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
