Description: | The incomplete copper-alloy head of an early medieval hooked tag. Roughly three quarters of the head of this tag now survives the rest of the head and the hook is missing due to old breaks now worn. The head is circular in shape and measures c12mm in diameter. It has two parallel circular sewing holes near to its upper edge. One face has traces of possibly small circular knops but the original surface of this tag is so worn that it is impossible to tell what kind of decoration is depicted or whether the marks are not due to corrosion instead. This hooked tag is likely to date from 600-1100 and is similar to other Suffolk examples from Freckenham.
