Description: | Complete copper alloy, post medieval hooked tag. Cast in one piece, it has a subrectangular loop placed above a decoratice plate in the form of a scallop shell.The shell is moulded with three raised vertical lines that splay out towards the broad edge of the shell which is decorated with a double band of rope motif. Beneath the shell is the integrally cast hook that bends to the reverse of the tag. The reverse of the object is plain and slightly concave. The patina of the hooked tag is a dark brown with some small areas of light green. The overall length of the hooked tag is 30.62mm, 1.66mm thick and weighs 2.11g. It is probably 16th century in date. Examples of hooked tags can be seen in Bailey 1995 Detector Finds, page 33. | 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
