Description: | Incomplete silver hooked tag, gilded on both front and reverse. The plate is rectangular and three-dimensional; in the centre is a large raised (apparently solid) rectangular area with a central circular boss. On the top of the boss is a tiny projection which brings the plate's thickness to 5.5 mm. Around the boss, the raised area is filled with unclear relief decoration, including eight pellets around the edge, within a cabled border. The outer flange is undecorated; around the edge are six projecting knobs, one at each corner (lower left one now missing - fresh break) and one in the centre of three of the sides. The flange on the remaining short side, along with the hook, is now missing. On the reverse of the plate is a separate strip of silver soldered on to form a rectangular loop. Overall surviving dimensions 17.5 x 16.5 x 9 mm. Forms a pair with sf 3983, with which it was found. | 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: | 1500
