Description: | Post Medieval cast copper alloy hooked tag with a pierced circular plate, rectanguler loop and long hook. The point of the hook is bent over 180 degrees and is twisted off to one side. The hook and loop are opposite each other and are both D shaped in section. The central plate is circular with a thin raised cross with central pellet, the ends of the arms meet a raised circular border. Outside this border the edge is beaded apart from below the loop. In each quarter of the cross are four circular piercings, one close to the centre and three on the outer edge. It measures 33.9mm long by 16.3mm wide and 1.7mm thick. It weighs 2.22 grams. There are various similar examples on the database including NLM-9DA783. Read (2008:99, No.370) illustrates a similar example and catogorises this type as Early Post Medieval Class E Type 3 and suggests they date from 1500-1625, with most being used 1500-1550 and possibly some residual use into the 18th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
