Description: | Copper-alloy hooked tag with sub-circular plate, two broken loops and a large hook. The plate is decorated with two engraved circles with fine radiating grooves both between the circles and within the inner circle. The engraving is not done particularly neatly. At the top of the plate are two projecting pierced lugs, both now broken; the breaks seem quite fresh but the metal is extremely thin here and it is hard to be certain. At the bottom is a much thicker hook, which tapers downwards before bending under to form the hook. Anglo-Saxon, probably middle or late.
