Description: | Nearly complete gilded silver hooked tag. The plate is rectangular and three-dimensional; in the centre is a large raised (apparently solid) rectangular area with a central circular boss. On the top of the boss is a tiny projection which brings the complete thickness to nearly 6 mm. Around the boss, the raised area is filled with unclear relief decoration, including eight pellets around the edge, within a cabled border. The outer flange is undecorated; around the edge are six projecting knobs, one at each corner (lower right one now missing) and one in the centre of three of the sides. At the bottom is a pair of projecting lugs, and in between a separate silver hook is soldered to the reverse. The hook is rounded in cross-section and has a sharp point. At the top of the plate, on the reverse, is a separate strip of silver soldered on to form a rectangular loop. Forms a pair with SF4136, with which it was found.
