Description: | Incomplete copper alloy early post medieval hooked tag (16th/ 17th century in date). It consists of the 'male' part and is broken about half way along the plate. The hook is a little broken at its curled-over end. The surviving length is 22mm and it is also 22mm wide. Just behind the hook is an ornate edge in which there are four coutersunk holes, ?for a rivet, two to either side of the hook. They are c.2mm in diameter. Behind this the width narrows to 15mm at the (old) break. The area between the break and the holes is filled with cross-hatch decoration. The reverse of the hooked tag is covered in random scratches. Similar to an example from Winterbourne in the south of the county, WILT-BC3105. | 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: | 1501
