Description: | Small copper alloy Anglo-Saxon dress hook, probably dating from the 8th - 10th century. The hooked tag has a flat triangular plate with two small perforations (one in each corner). The front has some faint rocker-arm zig-zag decoration on the front. The hook tapers to a point and curves over at the very tip. The object weighs 0.4g and measures 16.6mm in length, 11.05mm in width and 3.5mm in thickness. This type of tag is quite delicate in construction and was probably only used for light fastening.
