Description: | Copper-alloy hooked tag with silver wire and gilded decoration. The plate is circular with serrated edge. On the back is soldered a rectangular loop and a wire pointed hook; there is also a loose piece of folded wire which probably passed through the central hole with the ends folded back onto the plate back. The front had five decorative applied hemispheres, of which one is now missing. Each has a centre knob and five applied circles of twisted silver wire; the junctions with the plate are also outlined in twisted silver wire. Traces of pale gilding probably extended over the whole of the front. Plate diameter 23mm, length including hook 35mm, plate 0.5mm thick. | 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
