Description: | Copper alloy Early-Medieval one-piece hooked tag. The tag is sub-circular in form; slightly flattened at the top and tapering slightly at the bottom above the hook. The hook itself is now missing, all that remains is a tiny protrusion at the base of the tag. The tag has two holes adjacent to one another at the other end to the hook, but appears to be otherwise undecorated. However, the surface is highly pitted with erosion meaning that any decoration could have been lost. Read (2008, p.5) suggests that such tags are likely to have been in use from the 9th to early 11th centuries (or even longer). A variety of similar circular and sub-circular tags may be seen in his work ??Hooked-Clasps and Eyes??, on pages 14-18 and 22.
