Description: | A complete copper alloy Early Medieval hooked tag. It is circular and is pierced with three sewing holes arranged in a triangle, one near the centre and two near the upper edge, opposite from the protruding hooked terminal. The front face of the plate is decorated with three concentric incised circles, one around the central perforation, another interrupted by the outer perforations, and one outlining the circumference. In addition there are three ring and dot motifs arranged around the central circle. The back face is undecorated. The hook measures 7.4mm in length and tapers to its terminal which is bent back and upward to form the hook. The tag measures 12.09mm in diameter, and is 18.84mm in length including the hook. It weighs 0.67g. A similar example is known from Freckenham, PAS SF-D28312.
