Description: | A copper-alloy hooked tag, early-medieval in date. The item is triangular and similar to the hooked tags known from Anglo-saxon sites. The hook has been broken off from the apex of the tag and the break has been worn smooth, giving the appearance that there was never a hook at all. There are two perforations at the broad end of the object (1 mm in diameter), presumably for attaching it to an item of clothing. The object does not appear to have been decorated on either of its sides, although it suffers from corrosion and it is somewhat difficult to tell. | 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: | 600
