Description: | A copper-alloy early medieval hooked tag circa 700-1100 in date. Only the plate of this hooked tag survives, the hook is now missing due to an old break. The plate measures 19.8mm in length and 16.1mm in width. The edges of the plate are decorated with circular knops each with a circular indentation in its centre. On the top edge there are two larger projecting circular knobs which acted as sewing holes and have circular perforations through their centres which are filled with compacted soil. The front face has a slightly domed circular central panel, 11.5mm in diameter, decorated with scrolls silver wire with a possibly niello background. The back face of the hooked tag is flat and undecorated. A similar hooked tag was discovered at Rattlesden Suffolk, see SF-9916.
