Description: | Large copper-alloy hooked tag made from a piece of triangular sheet decorated with ring-and-dot motifs. Along the top are three ring-and-dots which have central circular perforations for attaching the tag. Below is a wobbly row of three more, then two irregularly stamped pairs, then a single one. The narrow apex of the tag is now bent out of shape, but would originally have been bent under to form a sharp hook. Original length probably c. 33 mm, maximum width 19 mm. Hooked tags were used by the Anglo-Saxons from the 7th to the 11th century and are hard to date, but such a large one is probably later rather than earlier. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 800
