Description: | A copper-alloy early medieval hooked tag, measuring 18.6mm in total length.
The plate of this hooked tag is triangular, measuring 13.6mm in length and 11.1mm in width. There are two circular sewing holes parallel to and near to the top edge of the plate each measuring about 1.2mm in diameter. The hook is rectangular and curves backwards sharply; it seems to be incomplete due to an old break, now worn. No decoration can be seen on either face of this hooked tag. Hooked tags date from the seventh to the eleventh centuries, and small examples with no decoration cannot be dated more precisely than this. | 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
