Description: | A copper-alloy openwork hooked tag of post-mediaeval, probably Tudor period type. Its near-complete length is 32mm and its maximum breadth 16mm, thickness 2mm. The plate is pierced as an openwork casting, with a cabled surround which is roughly circular except at the end where a rectangular space is formed by the extension of a bar of 1mm breadth. The ornament of the plate consists of three flowers or rosettes each with a single pellet at the centre, one at the pase of the pin or hook bar, and the others at either side near the margin of the plate. Stems appear to connect these radially from a central pellet. The surviving hook-bar is 12.5mm long, 2mm wide and thick, but is snapped off near the tip where it must have been recurved to form the hook. The casting is flat on the back and the object has been broken, probably whilst buried, spearating the plate from the rectangle of bars serving the attachment of the ribbon or strap. | 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: | 1530
